A controversial innovation is being tested in Google Maps. Not everyone liked the redesigned route interface
Google has begun testing a new route display mode on Google Maps, which has sparked controversy on the web.
Initially, the XDA Developers community of mobile developers noticed the new interface. The note describes the interface as “fresher”, “cleaner” and easier to understand. However, not everyone agreed with this point of view.
For example, according to the thematic resource AndroidPolice, Google should not try to “fix what is not broken,” and the authors perceived the new interface as “not so intuitive.”

New and old interface
As we can see, the overloaded top panel has been removed in the interface, replaced by a simplified floating panel. Various types of movement are now visible at the bottom of the screen, and the “Send to” option is also found there.
The new bottom panel was the main criticism. If earlier the expected arrival time for different methods of movement could be easily seen and compared in a neat line above, now the user will have to use scrolling.
At the moment, the change is at the stage of selective testing and it is not yet clear whether Google will decide to implement it for all users or not.

Headphones
Marshall Amplification was bought by Zound Industries, which has been producing Marshall headphones and speakers for 12 years.

Marshall Amplification, best known for its guitar amplifiers, was sold to the Swedish company Zound Industries. The irony of the situation is that it was Zound Industries that in recent years, since 2010, has been releasing headphones and speakers under the Marshall brand.
The amount of the transaction is unknown, but it is reported that 24% of the shares remained with the Marshall family. By the way, as a result of the merger after the completion of the transaction, a private company Marshall Group will be obtained.
Jeremy de Maillard, who is currently the CEO of Zound, will also become the CEO of the Marshall Group in the future. He does not expect any changes for the two companies, which means that the business will not be significantly affected by the merger. Including there will be no changes in the development process of headphones and acoustic systems.
We haven’t released a single Zound product that hasn’t been approved by a Marshall acoustic engineer. It’s a complete extension of what we do, except we’re one and the same now.

The brainchild of BYD and Mercedes-Benz: presented crossover Denza N8

BYD introduced the new Denza N8 crossover, which is an upgraded version of the BYD Tang model.
The announcement turned out to be formal: the manufacturer published the first images, but did not disclose details about the technical component of Denza N8.
According to Chinese Automobiles, Denza N8 will be available with hybrid and pure electric powertrains. In addition, it is known that buyers will be able to choose between the number of seats in the cabin (5, 6 or 7).
The original BYD Tang was released in 2015, a second generation followed in 2018 and is still in production today. In 2019, Denza X was released based on this model, which was created in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz. Denza N8 replaces Denza X.
Prices and other details about the Denza N8 will be made public later.

Tesla GigaBier introduced. It’s already available for purchase.

Tesla has released a limited edition Cybertruck-themed GigaBier beer. Beer is offered for $30.
It is worth recognizing that this is not the first original idea from Elon Musk’s companies. Previously, The Boring Company offered flamethrowers and Burnt Hair cologne with the smell of burnt hair, and Tesla released a Cyberwhistle in the spirit of Cybertruck. Of course, there was Tesla branded tequila. By the way, at the time of its announcement, they also thought that this was an April Fool’s joke.
The Tesla GigaBier bottle is designed to mimic the shape of the Cybertruck, paying homage to the 500-year-old Reinheitsgebot tradition of German brewing. Enjoy this beer brewed in Berlin with our exclusive Cyberhops and notes of citrus, bergamot and sweet fruit. Each bottle has a glow-in-the-dark Giga logo.
