Google Maps gets a clearer layout and "areas of interest"

These weeks we have known various updates of Google Maps very interesting and that demonstrate the interest that Google is putting in this app so that you do not get left behind before others that are pushing with great force. A map app that is often widely used at this time because there are many people who leave their locations and go to spend a few days with the family.

Now Google is in the process of displaying clearer maps on Google Maps in an attempt to show the most relevant information to users. So in days we will be able to have a new feature that will highlight certain areas that have been called as areas of interest. If Google thinks there is something very special in a particular area, you will see it prominently on the map.

This detail that can be overlooked, can give more news in the future to turn those fixed maps in «smarts». Now let's hope that Google does not fall for the attempt that would be advertising to highlight certain stores or shopping areas with offers for purchases.

Maps

For now, the new maps will highlight different brands and elements. It can be seen from this that the road lines are not shown in most views, and that the color palette has been retouched to make it easy to highlight places like schools, parks, and more. We can say that the maps are now more focused on small details.

Areas of interest

Regarding those "areas of interest", will be displayed in an area shaded in orange. What this represents is an area in which the Google algorithm has detected a large concentration of locations that you might like to know about. That area, when we zoom into it, will show individual businesses such as bars, restaurants or shops. This update is being rolled out today, so you can use it when you visit cities to see new places.
