Google has updated Maps for Android, adding several new features, including a new design for the app.

The new version — for both smartphones and tablets — got a cleaner interface that’s similar to that of the app’s iPhone version, which launched last December.

Other features include enhanced navigation with live traffic updates, incident reports and traffic rerouting. Finally, Explore offers a new way to browse and discover popular local points of interests.
