T map Mobility has revamped the T map home screen, placing the map front and center to strengthen place-search features.
The company said on the 21st that it reorganized the home screen, including grouping more than 20 core services — along with the map — by category.
Users can now open the map immediately from the home screen. By swiping down the icon-based “content area,” the map expands to fill the entire mobile screen. Previously, users had to enter individual services such as navigation to view the map.
T map Mobility also doubled the number of place names that appear automatically on the map, allowing users to discover more locations simply by moving the map with touch. Place icons were standardized in shape and color to make business types and characteristics easier to distinguish, and a search bar was added at the top of the map.
Selecting a place on the map shows details including reviews, business hours, parking availability and the number of vehicles currently en route. From the same screen, users can view routes, save locations, share links and enter navigation.
The update also streamlines the home-screen service menu. More than 20 core T map services are now grouped under categories such as “T map Recommendations,” “Convenient Travel” and “All Benefits,” making services easier to find and use.
“Maps are a core interface that helps users explore places in everyday life, beyond just directions,” Jeon Chang-geun, T map Mobility’s chief product officer, said. He said the company will continue improving map usability to develop the service “into something that delivers value beyond navigation.”
