You might be seeing the updated color scheme (https://blog.google/products/maps/google-maps-october-2023-update/ https://blog.google/products/maps/google-maps-october-2023-u...). My understanding is that the new scheme is intended to better match the real world: roads are grey (!), water is a different shade of blue, parks are a different shade of green, that sort of thing. If you're not seeing it yet on iOS yet you should expect it there too (eventually).
(Disclaimer: Work at Google, but not on Maps.)
- Grimblewald 3y agoIf i want real world i have a whole windscreen to look through. Maps is for making information i need accessible at a glance. Ive started missing turn offs because its hard to orientate where things are at a glance without reading road names etc if everything is part of the same visual soup.
