Where did the "blue arrow" in Google Maps go?

Some Google Maps users now have more options to change their vehicle icon while using the app.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN NEW ICON

For now, Google Maps only allows the selection of four different icons: an arrow, a red car, a yellow SUV, and a green truck.

It is expected that these icons will be diversified over time.

However, it appears that the new vehicle styles and colors are currently only available to some Android users.

Some Android users stated that they received notifications informing them that they were offered "early access to customize your vehicle's style and color."

'YOUR RIDE, YOUR WAY'

In a notification that appears when entering driving information, access to customization settings is offered with the note "your ride, your way."

Among the newly arrived customization options are five new vehicles. These consist of a pickup truck, a sports car, a sedan, a hatchback, and an SUV.

EIGHT COLOR OPTIONS OFFERED

There are also eight new color options offered to users: white, black, gray, red, blue, yellow, green, and purple.

The first reports regarding this change began to be discussed starting from November of last year.

IN THE TESTING PHASE FOR ANDROID USERS!

The new icons have been made available to Android users in the 25.06.x beta version of Google Maps.
