Favorably I retain access to both the previous and refreshed UI for some time, to enable me to create this short reference.
Once the new UI becomes active in the app, the hamburger menu displays a question mark. A click on that provides some tips on the changed location of the previous options.
Nevertheless, still that can be confusing.
Thus,in-spite of that prompt, there was a question sometime back, where is now the timeline?
A brief comparison of the different menu items is as follows, which would be useful.
| Hamburger menu | Location in the new UI |
|---|---|
| Your places | Saved → Lists or Labelled |
| Your timeline | Saved → Lists and then scroll to bottom |
| Your contributions | This can be seen only in the Contribute menu |
| Your profile | Contribute |
| Message | Updates → Message tab |
| Location sharing | Profile icon → Location sharing |
| Start driving | ? - (Anyway, I never used that feature) |
| Only wifi | Profile icon → Settings → Wifi only |
| Offline maps | Profile icon → Settings → Offline maps |
| Google earth | ? - But, one can always use the standalone app |
| Your data in Maps | Profile icon → Your data in Maps |
| Tips and tricks | ? |
| Add missing places | Contribute → Edit maps or Add place Alternatively Profile icon → Help & Feedback |
| Settings | Profile icon → Settings |
| Help | Profile icon → Help & Feedback |
| Send feedback | Profile icon → Help & Feedback |
| Privacy, Terms and conditions | Profile Icon → Privacy policy - Terms of services |
And, for car navigation, a new 15th birthday car icon in place of the routine triangle is a surprising bonus.
