Google Maps just got a colorful upgrade
Like Dorothy in Oz, Google Maps is about to get a lot more colorful.
Starting Tuesday, Google Maps on desktop and mobile will feature more color and visual features in 220 countries. Google Maps covers 98 percent of the world with high-definition satellite imagery.
With more colors, like dark green for a dense forest and light green for a patch of shrubs, it will be easier to tell what you're looking at. The new colors will be algorithmically applied to certain features over the equivalent of 18 billion football fields of land.

That means sidewalks, crosswalks, and even pedestrian islands will be much more clearly defined, useful for people who are walking or biking more during the pandemic.
Before and after: Much more detail. Credit: google maps Other cities and urban centers will get the street-level details eventually.
