Unbeknownst to us, the Google Maps mobile app is again being tweaked.
This time, it looks like the search giant could be replacing the Driving and Transit tabs, which appear on the bottom of the screen, with a single Commute user interface.Tapping on the Commute option which was first spotted by Android Police on an Android handset brings up new interfaces sporting a title bar on the top that can be used to select the navigation instructions to home or to work.Depending on which option you selected, a route card will then appear on the bottom of the interface, with an alternate route appearing below that.The new Commute tab | Image courtesy: Android PoliceWhile this new workflow appears streamlined, it does seem to make looking for alternative transport choices difficult.Its easy to switch between driving instructions and public transport options on the current Maps interface, but those options seem to be hidden within the new Commute Settings menu on the UI being tested.With that said, this testing seems to be very limited in nature none of us at TheIndianSubcontinent were able to replicate the options depicted in the images above.
So its fair to assume the new UI is not part of a beta update and wont be rolled out publicly before extensive testing.jzkjRV2VL4RdHH7cmW4M9U.jpg#
