Google Maps Is Testing A New Sidebar Navigation

Google is testing a new thin sidebar navigation on the left side of the maps interface. The sidebar has the Google Maps pin icon, then the explore tab, then trips, saved places, contribute and a more icon.

This was spotted by Punit on Twitter other mastodon where he posted a video of this new sidebar in action. Here is a screenshot followed by his videocast:

I personally do not see this interface yet but I am a fan of thin sidebar navigation. 🙂
