New Incognito Mode under test?
Now, according to a Droid-Life report, the Incognito Mode could be in seeding currently to select users having registered as part of Google Preview Community. Droid-Life has also put up a Gif image of how the feature looks. Gauging this, it is evident that there would be a manual option to switch on the Incognito Mode. Also, as per Android Police, test users updating to the Maps bearing version number 10.26 could also access the Incognito Mode.
