Earlier this year, 9to5Google spotted the first signs of a Google Maps makeover, which seemed to prioritize showing more of the map at all times. Oddly, the partial rollout was apparently reverted a few weeks later, and it appeared that Google had decided that the old UI was superior after all.
But it seems to have just been a postponement of the rollout. In a new post, 9to5Google describes how the new UI has returned, with some refinements along the way.
