It further focuses on five different icons over the buttons found on the screen. The three major updates introduced at Google Maps are enlisted. Besides adding up the buttons called Commute and Explore that were seen over the app, that you would be seeing soon under the buttons called “Saved,” Contribute” and “Updates.” In a quick refresher, Commute would be seen showcasing the way things take longer and the way it takes away to get the work as per the transportation preference.

With the button called Contribute, the users would make things faster along with adding even the reviews or posting the photos over different places that you have seen with.

With the Updates button, one can find a quick way to see what is going popular around and that are seen based as per the recommendations from the local experts or the info found over the outlets including The Infatuation, claimed Google.
