Google Maps For Android 8.1 Update with Some New Featurs & Small User Interface Tweaks

  

Google Maps roll out the new version 8.1. The Terrain Mode view, which lets you easily see the various elevation changes in surrounding hills, mountains, and valleys. There are also a few user interface changes to the various navigation screens.

The Terrain Mode is the huge update in this version. It should be helpful for hikers, climbers, and mountain bikers, showing the relative difficulty of routes and trails.

The interface for the navigation selection screen has been altered. Map previews for the first presented route have been added to the biking and walking views, just as they appear in the driving view. Extra icons for the navigation mode are now on each card, The total time and mileage have been shrunken and right-justified, giving more emphasis to the route on the left.

Public transit directions now show the total time in bold, additional time spent walking has been added at the bottom.

The biking and pedestrian views are now basically identical to the car navigation view, complete with mini-maps and a quick "Start navigation" button on the first result. Total transit time and route are now availabel on the right.
