GOOGLE UPDATES: Google Upgrades Look, Feel of Google Maps

Google has advanced the look and feel of its Maps program, in what the company calls "the largest such changes since we first launched about 4.7 years ago." These changes mostly sharpen the image and making things more size appropriate. In the photo above, for instance, Google has enhanced the readability and density of the roads.

"Today's changes are intended to remain the same information-rich map while making it easier to pick and choose out the information that is most helpful," Google wrote in a blog post.

The roads neighboring the English town of Portinscale are now more visible.

In San Francisco, Google made some changes to color and font. "All the similar information is maintained on the map, but there is more dissimilarity between background detail such as local roads, and important orientation signals like neighborhoods and major arterial roads," Google added.
