But now the facility to customize vehicle icons is being provided in Google Maps for Android devices.
According to the report, this feature is currently available to limited users and through it, they can customize the icon style and color of the vehicle.
Similarly, you can select trip options by clicking on the customize icon where you will see the option of Vehicle icon while navigating.
In this option, you will see five vehicles including a luxury sedan, off-road pickup, SUV, sports car, and hatchback.
You will be able to choose one of eight different colors.
This feature is currently available to limited users, so it is difficult to say when it will be rolled out to all users.
