Google Maps is upgrading trip planning with a handy ETA

Google Maps packs an incredible amount of information onto our phones’ screens — and that’s true even when we’re not looking at the map itself. From layer options to trip settings, Google does a really solid job at making Maps info-dense while still keeping it usable at a glance — not overwhelming us with extraneous content, either. Now we’re learning about a brand-new change to Maps that manages to improve on things further by tweaking how trip details are displayed.

So far, when you’re entering in your destination and setting up navigation in Maps, the trip details at the bottom of the screen have been rendered with a pretty basic look, giving your travel time estimate and distance equal font emphasis. But now 9to5Google has spotted a new look for this corner of the app’s interface that freshens things up with some new weighting.
