Google Maps Wear OS Tile redesigned with added complications

The shortcuts are still available but are reportedly being displayed in blue circles with just icons — house and briefcase — instead of adding the address, which was considered unnecessary. 

The microphone in the row quickly launches a voice search to specify a location. Google Maps Tile get a “Map” shortcut, which has been rolled out to select users since April for the inspection phase. It holds more abilities while looking less dense.
