Google Maps with more color and detail

Google brings one new update in Google Maps which adds more color for a better view of the terrain.

The function is based on the current color coding of the application and introduces more detail to the soil type. The colors allow users to distinguish places such as "beaches or deserts, blue lakes, rivers, oceans and ravines". The changes can also detect snow in the mountains and the density of greenery on the map.

The company says that this feature helps users to explore an area in detail and effectively before planning a visit.
As for how the app differentiates landscapes, Google says it combines computer vision and satellite data to analyze terrain. It then assigns an HSV model (hue, saturation, value from hue, saturation, value) to denser terrain – such as forests – with darker shade and so on.

While these visual changes are circulating to all Map users around the world, the company is preparing to bring another feature that improves road information for walking.

The detailed view will help users to locate exactly where the "sidewalks, crossings, etc." are located by marking the appropriate ones, something that the company says will help users with special needs. The changes will also have exact shapes and widths of the road.

Detailed street maps will be released in the coming months for users in London, New York and San Francisco. Google plans to expand the in more cities in the future.

Finally, Google states that Maps developers soon they will be able to incorporate visual color changes into their maps.
