Google Maps explore icons

Google Maps. By displaying the two rows of icons with categories of locations that we can explore, the application no longer displays preview images with the types of locations that we can discover. The change is an interesting one, and it remains to be seen how many people will appreciate the new way in which locations can be discovered through the section Explore, and that's because many people got used to the previous way of using the application.

Google Maps explore iconic locations

Google Maps. Apart from the format in which the icons are displayed in two rows for accessing the categories of locations, there is a second design that Google is testing. More precisely, you can see in the second image that Google Maps can also list all the icons in one row to display preview images for the types of locations we can visit, both formats being approximately equally useful.

Google Maps. The change for the online map application is being propagated worldwide at the moment, so if you can't see it in Romania yet, you'll have to be a little more patient.
