Seamless Map Customisation: Effortlessly Tailor Styles for All Modes and Types

Google Maps recently announced the ability to customise map styles for different types and modes, available in Preview. 

This new feature brings greater flexibility, giving you more control over how your maps are presented across the web, iOS, and Android.

Whether you’re building a consumer-facing app, a business tool, or a mobility solution, this update helps ensure your map experiences are as dynamic and tailored as your needs.

Effortless Map Customisation Across All Platforms 

With this feature, you can easily create, manage, and switch custom map styles without needing to reload the map, providing a seamless experience for your users.

It allows you to respond to users’ needs instantly, whether they want to switch to dark mode or use satellite view. 

With 28East, we can help you maximise the potential of this Preview feature by ensuring your customisations are applied across all Google Maps types and modes. 

Build Once, Extend Everywhere 

Google’s new approach to map customisation enables you to manage styles centrally and apply them universally across all modes. This means there’s no need to rebuild your customisations for each view. 

Your custom map styles will simply carry over automatically, creating a smoother, more consistent user experience. 

Maintain Brand Consistency Across All Views 

With this new customisation feature, you can ensure your brand identity stays consistent, no matter which map mode users select.

This means real estate, travel, and logistics apps can maintain visual consistency as users toggle between roadmap and satellite views, or shift between light and dark modes. 

By tailoring your map styles, you can also personalise the user experience based on context, showing different points of interest, all while maintaining your brand’s look and feel.
