Google Maps has started using a new design for location pins, which are now more round and chubby compared to the previous sharp and elongated ones. Additionally, the pins are now surrounded by a white border that enhances the overall aesthetic.
This change is specifically noticeable for location pins that have not been selected yet. Once a location is selected, the iconic red pin that is synonymous with Google Maps remains unchanged.
Recently, we have observed Google Maps making several design adjustments to their maps. Last year, they changed the color of the streets from yellow to gray, and this year they have made some UI changes to the mobile app as well.
