New, blue, and better than ever

Posted on 10:33 by Unknown

Less is more.

Before

After

With the new look for Google Maps, you can do all of the same things, but without the extra clutter. Find businesses (creamery near palo alto), addresses (6605 Delmar Blvd, St Louis, MO), and more (root beer in sf) from one search box. You might also notice the map is a tad bigger, and that it's easier to get full screen maps:


I hope the new design makes it easier to find everything you need. And incidentally, if you're ever in St. Louis, stop by 6605 Delmar. Particularly if you like root beer.
