The recent update to Google Maps for iOS has been incorporated with a few design changes, Area of Intrest feature and Multiple Destination Feature. We must be knowing that theses elements were propelled for Android users a month ago, and currently has been made live for all iOS users too. With Google Maps for iOS v4.21.0, users can now add more than one destination to their route. You can now include pit-stops mid-course, and maps will isolate it as point A, B etc. This element is helpful when you need to move around regions making various stops. Users need to feed in pit stops, and Google Maps will route all the destinations in your desired order, and begin navigation.
As said, this element is already accessible to Android users, though "it was activated via a server-side switch, not an actual update to the Maps app." Users will have to be running on Maps for Android version 9.31, but the OTA update alone doesn't guarantee that multiple destination features will work after the update.

Users that don't have multiple destinations activated can use the desktop version till then. Alternatively, they can make it work on Maps for Android, by just copying the full URL of multiple destination searches on Maps for desktop, and send it to themselves on mobile in whichever way they please, from an email to a message to yourself in a chat app. Once the user clicks on the received link and then choose to open it in Google Maps, the app will open the multiple destination route navigation.
The Google Maps overhaul presented a much cleaner look and disposed of street blueprints. It even presented color themes to represent freeways, parks, and clinics and even presented another element called Area of Interest. This element demonstrated adjacent bars and restaurants in a slightly orange shade.
