Google maps – the most beloved products from Google is getting ready to face an improvement on its redesign. It’s looking like the company may soon implement the major changes but it’s yet to confirm.
Do you think the change on redesign is needed or it’s enough how it’s now?
Alex Chitu at Google Operating System updates and shared a couple of screen shots of what he says about the maps.
Chitu says that we could see the new look unveiled at Google I/O next week. Google does apparently have a three-hour keynote lined up – plenty of time to unveil a plethora of things, including spending some time walking people through any new features that might be included. We can only wait and see if this is the case.
People are having doubts in the new change and its quite bit to convince them. It is such a major overhaul, and there only appears to be one main source of the information (Chitu thanks a Florian K.).
However, Chitu has a track record of Google coverage, and is always conscientious to point out when new Google features are simply tests. His post makes him more confident that the change is confirmed.
From his initial post, he points out that Google already has this Maps Engine Lite app available, Where he says there are many in common with the alleged new Google maps. Full-screen map, interface elements overlaid on top of the map, the same search box and zoom buttons. It’s consistent with the new Google Maps interface,” he writes. Google Maps Engine Lite was announced back in March. Chitu suggests that it will replace the “My Maps” feature.
Chris Velazco at TechCrunch makes a couple of good points, like for one, that the design seems to fall in line with other Google products of late – the “cards” look in particular. Also, Google has had a history of recent product leaks. Remember the Chromebook Pixel leak? How about the Google Play rededesign leak? Or the Google Now for iOS video that came out early? Hell, they even leaked their earnings report early once.
In other words, it seems very possible that this is indeed real.
The question comes here: Will people like this new interface? Since its Google ‘s most beloved product . We saw how iPhone users reacted to the lack of Google Maps when iOS 6 came out without it. The change which is expected to come can be loved by people because of Google’s beloved product.
So far, according to Atlantic, everybody hates it. We should definitely wait until we use the new change before we criticize it.
