A new interface in store for Google Maps

Google Maps gets a new colour scheme, better highlighting the information most relevant to each experience.

Google Maps is getting a redesigned interface that will adapt more effectively to each user experience, according to a blog post by Liz Hunt, product manager of Google Maps.

Onscreen, an updated colour scheme and new icons promise a more pleasant user experience while helping make maps easier to read. Depending on what the user is looking for (traffic info, a gas station or a restaurant, nearest metro station, etc.), certain information will be highlighted more prominently on the map, making it easier to find.
