Tech giant Google that came up with certain updates for its Maps service earlier during the Google I/O now has made its Google Map’s revamped interface available to all.
Since the Google I/O, the company started the closed invite-only beta for its new Maps. But now, it has made the Google Maps preview version available. Now, when you would open the Google Maps on your web browser, you will be presented with the option of trying out the new Maps interface. You can also take a browsing look at the newly added features and some of the existing features that have succeeded to make it to the new interface of Google Maps. A video is also available that you can watch to get introduced with new Google Maps.
While the beauty of Google maps has been compromised, as it does not looks attractive or pretty, but it is only the preview and seems to be to some extent feature-incomplete. The search giant has still not added support and shore up for multi-level maps, the ability to add any new destinations while using route-planning and indoor maps. The earlier feature, that is, the find me button could also not make it to the new version of Maps. This feature was used for focusing on the area around us. However, like the recent update to the mobile version of Google maps, this new desktop version will have greater emphasis on reviews and ratings, and will offer a cleaner & tidier interface.
Google Maps utility has also been released for its tech rival Apple’s product iPads. The Google maps for the tablets also has the same interface which has been introduced in the newer update launched recently. However, the Google maps version for iPads is packed with some interesting features like Explore Option.
