The design draws on Google's new "Material Design" language, which pervades the updated <a href="http://www.androidcentral.com/lollipop" title="Everything you need to know about Android 5.0 Lollipop">Android 5.0 Lollipop[/url], bringing a layout that's flatter and layered, yet with lots of colors. In the case of Google Maps, lots of blue. It's a similar look and feel to the recently-released Inbox by Gmail (http://www.imore.com/gmails-new-inbox-will-help-you-better-manage-your-reminders-emails-and-more).</p> <!--break--> <p>Overall things generally work the same way (http://www.imore.com/best-us-transit-apps-iphone-google-maps-moovit-citymapper-more), but you'll find many more instances of swaths of color. It's very much a new look for Google Maps, and it works well, though there's plenty of empty space to it.</p> <p>Google Maps is getting new services integrated with the latest update, however. You'll find OpenTable for making restaurant reservations and Uber (http://www.androidcentral.com/app/uber) for calling for a private car to get you from A to B (and we suppose you can use Google Maps to give them back-seat directions too, if you're into that).</p> <p>The new version of Google Maps is scheduled to hit the App Store in the next few days; once you've got it be sure to let us know what you think!</p> <p>Source: Google (http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2014/11/google-maps-your-best-accessory-this.html)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-28169"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/40300f36/sc/4/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
