In their latest update, Google Maps is making it easier for you to find your way around, and spot areas nearby that have fun things to do.
In an effort to make their maps cleaner and easier to read, Google is removing all visual elements that aren’t absolutely necessary. That means you won’t see any more road outlines, text will stand out and be more readable, and they’re working with a new color scheme (you can see the difference in the image above). The new colors should also make it easier to differentiate between man-made and natural features, as well as quickly identify important structures like hospitals and schools.
