Following last week’s quiet release of Find Hub for Wear OS, Google is rolling out support for map layers on Android.
This quality-of-life improvement adds a tiny FAB (floating action button) just underneath the account switcher. Tapping lets you “Choose map type,” with “Default” joined by “Satellite” and “Terrain.” Like in Google Maps, “Traffic” is also available as a map type.
These options can help when you’re navigating to a lost device. It can only be selected from the main map (Devices or People) and not the view once you’ve selected a device.
This is rolling out with version 3.1.485-2 of Find Hub for Android. That update is widely rolled out via the Play Store, but there’s a server-side component that is not yet fully available today. (It’s just appearing on one of our devices.)
