Google Maps on iOS is getting multiple new navigation vehicles and customization options, but old cars are stuck on their original colors.
It’s fair to say that Google Maps is the default navigation app on most phones globally, used by both iOS and Android users who often ditch other options. But whether you are driving a convertible or a shiny new EV, Google Maps still shows you a generic icon; a large arrow with a circle around it.
Yes, there are a few options to choose from, but they hardly match the variety of cars on the road. Thankfully, Google Maps is getting an upgrade. Currently, you cannot customize the navigation vehicle on Google Maps, and just choose between a red sedan, a yellow SUV, or a green pickup truck, a feature that has been unchanged since 2020.
