Google is testing a Google Maps design that eliminates full-screen info sheets, shows more of the map, and improves in-app navigation.

I'm a longtime Google Maps user, even I have trouble navigating the app sometimes. It's not about Google's massive redesign from last year that angered most people. I'm fine with the new colors and wouldn't switch back to the previous palette. This actually proves that we can easily adapt to app user interfaces, and we do it quickly even if the changes seem scary.

After discovering the initial UI design test in February, 9to5Google says Google pulled it from Android devices after a few weeks. But Google is now back with a similar Google Maps design test that builds on the previous version. The full-screen information sheets are now replaced with panels that have rounded corners and do not take up the entire display. You can still see the map at the top, which makes in-app navigation easier than before.
