“Slowly, but surely” is a saying that can be perfectly applied to Google Maps. The big G Maps app isn’t always the first to innovate, and frankly, it still has a long way to go to find features that other similar apps have included for a long time. For example, the 3D buildings on roads feature was released a few months ago. And now, among the new features, some curious green circles have been added to the maps.
Do you know they are? Well, nothing more and nothing less than a sign to know where the entrance to the building is. Google Maps is likely to implement this change in the latest update. Meanwhile, this news is known only through recent information.
What are the green circles on Google Maps?
Thanks to a report by Android Police, version 11.17.0101 is rolling out to some devices with a small, but important change in New York, Berlin, and Las Vegas. The maps now show green circles with a small picture of the entrance door to indicate where a particular building is located. This seems to apply to shops, hotels, supermarkets and pharmacies.
Although it is a small detail, it is very important. More than anything else on maps with large buildings. Knowing where the entrance is makes users better think about where to park or walk. In many cases, it is a long journey that can be saved.
It is not known when this update will be rolled out to the rest of the world as it seems to be in the testing phase in certain regions. What usually happens is that these changes begin to arrive gradually over the weeks.
It can easily be considered an important detail that provides more convenience to users, for example, knowing the height of a place in the application. Details on the map, projected on real life, make a difference.
