It was announced months ago, and it’s finally here — the updated design on the Google Maps site.
It’s not a major change, but it does some nice things. The tabs are gone in favor of a single search box, and the map area is a bit larger as a result.
More details have been posted on the Google LatLong Blog
as well as on Google Maps Mania.
It seems like a nice step forward. What do you think?
