Have You Seen the New Map Update on Google Maps? Share Your Thoughts on the Pins & More!

Hey everyone!
This morning I noticed an update to the new pin :round_pushpin: icon (marker) on the map. Which is really looking very attractive. Its colour has also improved a lot compared to the previous pin. So I thought let’s share this update with our community.


Along with this update, there are lots of new improvements also visible on the map and, now the map looks very clean and clear. Due to this update, public transport is now easily visible on the map.

In the photos below you can see the old map and how the map looks after the update.


I love :heart: this pin :round_pushpin: icon update.

Have you noticed this update? How do you like these new pins?
Let me know in the comments!

Thank you for sharing the update, @NareshDarji . I can’t say if I like it or not because I don’t see any changes on my desktop or mobile. Both are latest version of Google Maps though. This is probably an update for your region, but not worldwide. Looking at the pictures above I can tell it’s a pretty sight though.

@ShailendraOjha I’m not talking about famous landmarks. This new update is all about small pins for each location.

Sadly my phone says I am using the latest version of Maps, which is the one that I shared earlier. Not sure if this version is available in the USA yet or not. Thank you @NareshDarji for the update.

Hi @NareshDarji

Would you be able to share a close up screenshot of the same icon before and after. I’m unable to identify the changes in your screenshots.

All the best

Sure, @MortenCopenhagen

Let me share here my mobile app screenshot.

Are you able to see new pin markers?

Thanks @NareshDarji

I still see the old icons on my Android phone:

From your latest screenshot it looks like the icon graphics are reused except the outer shape are more round (less pointy). And the background color is not extending to the edge where there is now a black line. Is that correct?

As you can see they have not arrived on my end. Maybe it could be a test?

Cheers

Morten

Hi Sonia,

I concur with you.

I am rather new to local guides and have yet to see the new marker in my local area.

Does it provide better visual cues to the user?

I hope to use it soon when it rolls out for my area here in little Singapore.

Yes, dear @SoniaK & @NareshDarji Ji,

My App V number is 11.135.0102 only…

That means, 11.136 is not released for this mobile (iQoo 12, Android 14)…

Another mobile One plus 11 5G, android 14 has 11.136.0101…still the old icons are displayed…

Just for your kind information
