Yes, the tech giant is coming with its new update which is big enough to be discussed with the users. This Thursday Google comes up with some major redesign options for the app both for the Android and iOS based platforms. Now, the company has started rolling the same. By March, all the users would get this new update for their public transit along with the augmented reality. The tech giant was seen showcasing this feature during one of the briefing sessions before the media which is seen coinciding with the service of its 15th birthday this Thursday.

The redesign came with the application much easier to use along with not needing the same with much of the digging for finding out some key options. It further focuses on five different icons over the buttons found on the screen. The three major updates introduced at Google Maps are enlisted. Besides adding up the buttons called Commute and Explore that were seen over the app, that you would be seeing soon under the buttons called “Saved,” Contribute” and “Updates.” In a quick refresher, Commute would be seen showcasing the way things take longer and the way it takes away to get the work as per the transportation preference. You can further explore the key features listed under that Google Maps users would enjoy, have a look:

The Saved shows would help the food joints, restaurants and landmarks along with the other places that you have bookmarked earlier to see. It can be useful for visiting the city along with wanting to make a list of different places to visit when it comes to get things there. You would then tap the Saved option when it comes to landing up to see everything in a single spot along with butting them in different places and the lists.

With the button called Contribute, the users would make things faster along with adding even the reviews or posting the photos over different places that you have seen with. If you are seen posting the picture of any food you have at a restaurant for instance then other people would get to see these pictures that they would perhaps visit and would help in making things know in a better way.

With the Updates button, one can find a quick way to see what is going popular around and that are seen based as per the recommendations from the local experts or the info found over the outlets including The Infatuation, claimed Google. So, if you are seen landing over Lisbon, for instance, it would help in making the restaurants trend along with putting the recommendations over different places to see and add more. All this info is based on the information that is shared by other Google Maps users. Thus in the month of March, Google Maps would have a couple of other new features as well that would expand things that seemed to be available all the time.
