After the start of tests earlier this year, Google Maps for Android largely deploys a overhaul of the “you” and “contributing” tabs that kiss the leaves.
Last year, the main “Explorer” tab and other key elements were updated to display information using a sheet. As such, he does not take the whole whole screen. At the time, the other two Google Maps pages retained their complete interface.
The whole application is now based on the same metaphor for a more coherent experience. The “You” tab with your lists and recorded places now shows a ribbon of the background card at the top of the screen and behind the transparent status bar. This helps to preserve the context, the user interface otherwise unchanged.
Old vs new
You can minimize this page so that the rounded corners of the sheet are moored with the lower bar. The card layer – including the search bar, filters, fab directions, etc. – is fully visible and usable.
“Contribute” (with examination prompts, etc.) gets similar treatment, although it loses its dedicated search bar until you moored it. This title of page is now based on the left instead of being centered.
We see this complete overhaul of the leaf deployed with the Stable version (25.16) From Google Maps for Android today. It should eventually come to the iPhone and iPad. The application lacks the dynamic color of you (after adopting a new Sarcelle theme last year), but Google Maps is now like one of the most modern first part applications.
