One of the most trending features at the moment is the Dark Mode. It even looks cool especially when you use it on your Navigation app. Not only does it reduce battery consumption, but it also helps to protect your eye. Google Map is all used for directions. The Dark mode is perfect especially when you need a direction at night, due to the light from the default background which is white, it's pretty difficult to see what's in front of you. The Dark mode feature actually makes this easier, it'll even take away this risk which can be generated from this.

The Dark theme lets you navigate the map without any difficulty, it also makes it easy to get to your destination safely and save more battery.
