Map styles Pro ​
Map styles change the visual appearance of the Google Maps layer — colors, labels, road styles, and more. The Pro version includes 5 built-in presets and support for fully custom JSON styles.
Built-in presets ​
| Preset | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | Standard Google Maps appearance |
| WY | Light, clean style with muted colors |
| Modest | Dark blue theme with white labels |
| Ultra Light | Almost white map with minimal visual noise |
| Shades of Grey | Fully monochrome dark theme |
Custom JSON styles ​
Paste any Google Maps style JSON to create a completely custom look. You can generate styles using:
- Snazzy Maps — Browse and download thousands of free map styles
- Google Maps Platform Styling Wizard — Google's official style editor
- Map Style Editor — Documentation reference
How to apply a custom style ​
- Copy the JSON array from your style source
- In the WPGSV editor, go to the Styles tab
- Select Custom Map Styles
- Paste the JSON in the textarea
- Click Preview to verify, then Save
Style compatibility ​
Map styles apply to the Google Maps and Synchronized view modes. They do not affect Street View panoramas (Street View uses Google's own photographic imagery).
