Google is experimenting with colorful map pins inside the embedded map shown in its AI Mode. Users are spotting pins in different shades like red, blue, yellow, and possibly orange. Interestingly, Google is also adding a color-coded key below the map to explain what each color represents.
This new test was first noticed by Gagan Ghotra, who shared screenshots on X 👉 here.
He mentioned that Google’s AI Mode is also testing a feature that places the map right at the top of the answer section.
At the moment, this update doesn’t seem to appear for everyone, suggesting it’s likely a limited test. Gagan also discussed this experiment further in a detailed blog post here.

🆕 AI Mode – map going from bottom to top of answer (quote tweet) and for some query types I'm noticing Google showing color pins in map and below it defines what each color stands for. https://t.co/vM5yyCfDSf pic.twitter.com/qJcZ9ICpg5
