Google is updating its map application four years ago, thanks to which motorists are given significantly more freedom of movement than before in customizing the navigation. Until now, the blue arrow could be exchanged for a red car, a yellow SUV, and a green flatbed truck, but the repertoire may soon be expanded with additional colors and vehicle types, pointed out the Android Police.


Based on the leaked screenshots, drivers will be able to choose from five more icons in Google Maps, making available the sedan, SUV, hatchback, Jeep, and a variation reminiscent of the Tesla model. As for the colors, you can choose from a total of eight: white will be the default color, in addition to black, gray, red, blue, yellow, teal, and purple.

The portal noted that the amendment is a iPhone 16 Pro was noticed on a device of the type, based on which it is possible that the new icons will arrive on iOS sooner. Especially since there is no sign of the update on one of the latest Android smartphones, the Pixel 9, but no official announcement has been made about it yet, so it is also malleable when it will be rolled out more widely.
