Google Maps to get colourful facelift, more accurate city street details

The Covid-19 pandemic has put most people’s travel plans on the back burner, but this hasn’t stopped the search engine giant on improving Google Maps.

The company has announced to bring visual enhancements to Google Maps in addition to increasing the accuracy to find the precise location for the users.

Google Maps is touted to have high-definition satellite imagery covering more than 98-percent of the earth and now, a new color-mapping algorithm is being incorporated to improvise imagery and translate the data into an even more comprehensive, vibrant map of an area at a global scale.

With this, people will be able to view in original colors of the particular area. For instance, users will easily be able to differentiate tan, arid beaches, and deserts from blue lakes, rivers, oceans, and ravines.
