Former Google Maps designer Elizabeth Laraki has criticized the recent color changes in the app, stating that it looks "colder, less accurate, and less human." She also believes that Google should simplify the user interface by removing unnecessary elements that clutter the app's interface, suggesting a modified version that prioritizes the search box and directions while relocating other features to the bottom bar. Laraki's proposed improvements aim to reduce information overload and create a cleaner and more user-friendly experience.
