Following the Feature Drop announcement two weeks ago, Google Maps is rolling out Power Saving mode on the Pixel 10 series.
When using driving navigation, tapping the power button will bring you to a simplified, black-and-white layout that includes the map layer.
The system status bar remains available in this view along with the next turn UI at the top, though the Google Assistant/Gemini button has been removed.

This is available on the Pixel 10, Pixel 10…
