Google Maps Gets a Fresh Look with Revamped Color Scheme, Drawing Parallels to Apple Maps

Additionally, the shades of green on the maps are now darker, and the navigation route arrow has transitioned to a darker blue hue, departing from its previous lighter blue shade. The arrow can also change colors based on traffic conditions, turning yellow or red when necessary. The bottom bar of the app has undergone changes as well, featuring a smaller set of tabs below the map.

This visual refresh appears to be the most significant update to Google Maps since 2020, following a previous revamp in 2017. However, not all users have received the update yet, indicating a staggered rollout.
