Previously, Google introduced some new features such as New Events Section, Elevation data for Walking and Cycling. The new Events section that shows upcoming events you may be interested in. Now Google Maps latest update brings Dark Mode Navigation setting. Latest app version will allow the users to enable Dark Mode when required.
Previously, Google Maps automatically switch between the light and dark theme, depending on the time of day and whether you’re driving through a tunnel. However now, users can manually set the dark mode when they desire. Also, the new feature will only affect the navigation mode, it does not affect the entire app. This is a great way to save some battery if you are traveling around a lot.
Other than the new theme options, Google has made it easier to navigate and understand Maps’ settings. Users can now choose to avoid toll roads and ferries right from the Navigation settings page instead of having to start a route and then adjust the options that way. Users can even adjust the loudness of the assistant’s voice during navigation which is super helpful when using it with headphones or in the car while music is playing.

I did everything. It is not working. Like I changed nothing in settings.
This entire page was written for nothing?
This is nonsense, it doesn’t work like that. Night mode means when you actually NAVIGATE, the map turns dark after you start the journey (and only in car mode).
Dark mode is a dark interface.
