There’s no doubt that Google Maps is the best navigation tool that you can use today. While there are many competing navigation apps out there, there’s none that matches the accuracy and universality of Google Maps. Apart from bringing exceptional navigational features, Google Maps also bring a plethora of tiny features which enhances the overall experience of the app.
Once you go through this tutorial, you will be able to use dark mode as your default navigation interface. That being said, remember that the dark mode only works during navigation and the app will use the light mode in all other instances. Hence, don’t worry when you don’t see dark mode on Google Maps when you set it up as it will only come when you start navigating:
- First, launch the Google Maps app and tap on the hamburger menu marked in the picture below. Here, tap on Settings.
- As you can see, the time on the phone is 03:13 PM, but the app is using dark mode when I am using the navigation.
- The process is almost similar on the iPhone too. Just launch the Google Maps app and tap on the hamburger menu. Here, tap on the settings cog icon at the top right.
