Customizing Google Maps with Snazzymaps
Written by Erick Olivares
Snazzy Maps is a collection of customized Google Maps.
This collection contains over 20k styles that allow you to create and share edited Google Maps for embedding onto websites and mobile apps. The customized bit is in Javascript and technical knowledge of the Google Map API is required.
Some of the customizations you’re allowed to modify are changing how transit lines, road/highway routes, landscape, borders, display among many other options.
There is a free WordPress Plugin for personal use that allows you to quickly apply styles to your map. In addition, they have a pricing plan for businesses and developers which will allow webmasters to utilize the plugin.
Below are some of the maps the community has created.
