Google Tests New Directions Buttons in Local Pack

Google is experimenting with fresh button labels in the local pack section of Google Search results. Normally, users see a familiar “Directions” button when searching for a place or business. However, Google is now testing new variations such as “Map it,” “Map,” “Route,” “Go,” and “Get there.” These changes are part of Google’s ongoing efforts to refine the user experience and encourage quicker navigation choices.

Screenshots captured during testing reveal how these new buttons appear in search results, replacing the standard “Directions” option.

Here are the versions spotted so far:

This experiment was first shared by Punit on X, where users are actively discussing the update. While it is still a limited test, this change could indicate Google’s attempt to simplify navigation prompts and make search results more interactive.
