Google Maps
A large map keeps the route visible behind maneuver instructions and a compact lower trip summary.
Google LLC · iOS · Listing version 26.36.3. Publisher-provided App Store previews, reviewed 2026-09-09. Promotional framing is retained; screen order does not represent a tested flow.
Why this pattern works
Study turn-by-turn navigation, route question and options, traffic-aware route. Compare the hierarchy and controls shown in these publisher previews, then test the corresponding behavior in your own app.
Design notes
- Surface
- Turn-by-turn navigation · Route question and options · Traffic-aware route
- Navigation
- Floating map controls and a bottom information sheet separate map manipulation from trip details.
- Layout
- A large map keeps the route visible behind maneuver instructions and a compact lower trip summary.
- Density
- Compare the space reserved for the primary task with secondary metadata. The previews retain promotional framing; evaluate target sizes in your implemented screen.
- Color
- Pale maps, blue routes, green instructions, and red traffic accents.
- Type
- Use clear heading, body, and metadata levels. Keep interface text scalable and verify readability with the device text-size settings.
- Pattern
- Maps & navigation
- States
- Static publisher previews only. Loading, empty, error, offline, permission, and keyboard behavior have not been tested. Specify and verify those states in your own implementation.
- Don't
- Do not copy the app identity, proprietary artwork, or promotional claims. Screenshot order is not a verified flow, and the listing version does not date every image.
