coldel Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Has anyone got a work around for being able to see roads properly on google maps yet? They apparently deliberately changed the look so points of interest are more visible but now its almost impossible to see the actual roads. I used to be able to flick the terrain option on to help but that seems to have stopped working now. Looking at the map to eyeball a decent route to Farringdon station from the office and I get this... Sat with my eyes level with the top of the monitor in the office as advised I find myself crouching down to try and get any sort of sense of roads on the map. Why in gods name do Google think this is a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blobbish Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) Hit the satellite option, bottom left corner or under the options left of the text field. Edited November 22, 2018 by blobbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yeah that helps a bit, but not great for being able to just see roads as its somewhat cluttered for city centres. I am astonished really that Google thought this was an improvement...its bonkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
