Google Maps' appearance takes new direction by Harrison Hoffman, Webware (Oct 24)
Google has made some changes to make its maps more readable.
Google describes it as Evolving the look of Google Maps
Post states, "All the same information is maintained on the map, but there is more contrast between background detail such as local roads, and important orientation signals like neighbourhoods and major arterial roads: "
This is clear from the images given. These changes are subtle but do seem to improve readability. True for Google Maps Canada too.
