Hello Fellow LGs,

I noticed this refreshed new look for the “Contribute now” section on the Google Maps[1]. It appears far more vibrant, appealing, and visually engaging compared to the previous version.

How to locate the “Contribute now” section on Google Maps[2]

  1. Go to your logged in Google Maps App
  2. Tap on ‘Contribute’
  3. Scroll down to the bottom
  4. A section named “Contribute now” will appear just below ‘See contributions’ section

Have you also noticed this?

Stay Happy, Stay Healthy!

JAI HO!!!

Thank you @Kumaarsantosh for shairing this useful info.

3

I can’t see this for IOS yet

4

Yes, @Kumaarsantosh

The updated Contribute now section looks much more vibrant than before.

5

@NareshDarji
Vibrant it may be. But still totally useless if Google can’t fix the review uploading issue of a single account which therefore fundamentally blocks its contribution not to mention “keep going”.

6

Yes, I like the clean look now; much clutter is cleared now, and it has much more of a sorted look, actually! :grinning_face: :+1:

Cheers!

7

Mir ist es heute morgen aufgefallen, und mir gefällt die farbige Darstellung sehr gut.:+1::blush: @Kumaarsantosh

8

Thank you for keeping the community updated, dear friend @Kumaarsantosh ! I agree, the new look is much more appealing.

9

Thanks for the announcement @Kumaarsantosh. I still have the old version.

10

Fully agree with you @ivanos. If there are obstacles in the way of some types of contributions, the new look doesn’t make much difference.

11

What do you mean @AjitThite. The new look may be more colourful, but it is a more complex and cluttered picture. Just a change, not an improvement.

12

Thanks @SharmaK for your kind words.

13

Thank you, @NareshDarji, for confirming and affirming the new look.

14

Thanks for confirming @Annaelisa.

15

Thank you dear @PrasadVR for your kind words and liking the change.

16

It’s likely being rolled out in a phased manner, @tony_b. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights.

17

Interesting update, @Kumaarsantosh ji

The refreshed design looks much better.

Nice finding… dear friend @Kumaarsantosh…
Your pictorial demo is very clear…
Thanks
