Google Maps Go gets a new look--how to download
Google Maps Go (the lightweight app for older phones and slow networks) just got a makeover.
Its icon now features a smooth, colorful gradient (think red, blue, green, and yellow) and matches the updated look of regular Google Maps.
The familiar pin shape stays, but the style feels more modern and playful.
The update appears on the PWA
The new design ditches the old color blocks for a seamless Gemini-inspired gradient, keeping things simple but eye-catching.
The icon update appears on the PWA without requiring a Play Store download.
What is Google Maps Go?
If your phone's tight on space or you're stuck with slow internet, Google Maps Go is built to help. It runs smoothly on entry-level devices and still provides many of the same core features.
Now both versions of Maps share this sleek branding upgrade.
