Like many other Google services, the Maps software will also yield to the call of Material Design, with some small aesthetic changes.

Google Maps in Material Design sauce
The famous mapping software will offer a whole new look, with obviously new icons all round , a blue background replaced by a white background, a thicker writing font .The search bar at the top of the screen will also have some modifications, with more rounded angles and more readable results. The Location and Close buttons will have a new blue background. No aesthetic upheaval in sight for this "new" Google Maps , but subtle changes that allow Google to standardize its services.
