The morning offers breakfast, not dinner
Add a meal to a part of the day and the choices are the ones that belong there, in your own language. Every price in the panel is now written the same way, with its currency, and the Directions links all wear one look.
Adding a meal to the morning used to offer all six: breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, coffee and a snack. Pick dinner there and the stop jumped to the evening, because a dinner is an evening thing and the day timeline knows it. Now each part of the day offers only what belongs in it. The morning has breakfast, brunch, coffee and a snack; the afternoon has lunch; the evening has dinner. Coffee and a snack are offered at every hour, because that is when people have them.
- The meal the form starts on is the one that part of the day still lacks, so a meal added to the evening opens on Dinner rather than on a breakfast you already had.
- A coffee added to the morning stays in the morning. It used to slide to the afternoon, which is where a coffee sits when nobody says otherwise.
- Editing a meal shows the choices of the part of the day its card sits in, and whatever it already says stays selected, even a meal from an older trip.
- Meals now read in your language. Breakfast is Desayuno in Spanish, Petit-déjeuner in French and Café da manhã in Portuguese, on the chips, on the day, and on the map. A meal you named yourself, like "Lunch at Café de Jaren", is left exactly as you wrote it.
One way to write a price
What the trip costs, what a day costs and what a stop costs are the same kind of fact, so they are now written the same way: the amount, then the currency code a size down. The budget button at the top of the panel says which currency it is counting in, which it never did before. The five places a price appeared had drifted into four sizes and three shades, and comparing two numbers meant reading past the typography first.
- Every Directions link is one thing now: Google's own directions glyph and the word, in the same ink, whether it sits on a connection between two stops, on a ride, on the way into a city or in the bar above the map. Three different icons used to stand for the same action, one of them a map pin, which says "a place" rather than "take me there".
Every trip shared to the community reads the same way, so what you publish is what a reader gets.
