TL;DR Google Maps developers are working on a bunch of small tweaks to the app’s interface.
Some of those include a new setting menu, icons, and search UI.
Place cards could also be getting a reorganization, flipping the placement of some options.
This week may be all about new hardware with the introduction of the Pixel 10 series, but maybe that just means that Google’s software devs have all the more to prove, because that group has been one busy bunch. Today we’re looking at a whole mess of new changes currently in the works for Google Maps on Android.
We’ve got a lot to go through, so let’s get started straight away with an overhaul coming to the app’s settings. So far, everything’s kind of been unceremoniously tossed together in one place, with a mix of toggles for individual options and settings sub-pages you’d need to tap through to — all without obvious rhyme or reason.

In version 25.34.00.796159725 of Maps, we see Google working to do something about that, now organizing all these settings into a handful of categories. While than can mean an extra tap to get where you’re going, it also just makes it a whole lot easier to find that destination in the first place.
