“Today we previewed the next generation of Google Maps, which gets rid of any clutter in order to put your individual experience and exploration front and center. Each time you click or search, our technology draws you a tailored map that highlights the information you need. From design to directions, the new Google Maps is smarter and more useful,” Google noted in a blog post.

Now, if you are wondering when you are going to get similar features on your Android version of Google Maps, don’t worry. Google also showcased the upcoming revamped Android maps at the keynote.
