Google Maps Will Now Bring Fall Foliage to Your Driving Routes

Google Maps keeps finding ways to make navigation more useful and visually appealing. We’ve already seen a glimpse of it from the company’s big 3D redesign. This adds more realistic details to buildings, surrounding landscapes, and more. Now, it’s adding a seasonal touch to make your drives immersive and more in tune with the time of year. Google Maps is getting a temporary makeover of sorts, where the new update will now show you fall foliage along your route.

Google’s fall foliage update gives Google Maps a seasonal makeover

The announcement comes from Google Maps through a post on X. The caption reads, “Now the trees in Google Maps will match the foliage while you’re driving.” In simple words, Google Maps is rolling out a fun new update that will display fall colors along your route. This means you’ll be seeing orange trees along the side of the road.

That said, it’s not available for everyone worldwide. Google says that this little update is “applicable in US metros,” but it doesn’t specify which ones in the post. Also, we say temporary because this will be applicable only until November 30. So you’ll see this fresh update in action for about a month.

Though there’s no mention of the exact US metro areas, Boston appears in the video posted by Google. It’s also worth noting that colors seem to show up only during active navigation in the app. 9to5Google reports that they couldn’t see the colors when browsing through Boston in Google Maps normally, outside of navigation mode. So that’s a limitation.

If you’re in one of the supported areas, this change should make navigation a little more colorful. But it’s still a small visual update rather than a change to how Google Maps works.
