Map styles & brand colour

Pick how the map itself looks: calm, dark, rich in detail or entirely in your brand colour. Your pins, areas, routes and buttons follow along.

Live: the style “In your colour”, made from one teal. Pins, the delivery area and the buttons take the same colour.

What it does

A map that looks like part of your site

Six styles

Light, Night, Colourful, Clear, Fjord and “In your colour”. Each one appears as a little picture of the map, so you choose by looking.

Your brand colour

“In your colour” mixes water, parks, buildings and names from one colour. Roads stay white, so the map stays easy to read.

Everything follows

The map colour goes to pins, areas, routes and buttons, unless you give one of them its own.

Follows dark mode

If you like, visitors whose phone or computer is set to dark get the Night style automatically.

Set it up

Pick a picture, not a setting

  1. Open the map settings. In the studio, with no place selected, the panel on the right holds the settings of the whole map. Its first tab is “Style and colour”.
  2. Choose a style. Four favourites show first; “more styles” opens the rest. The map changes as you click.
  3. Set the map colour. One of the six swatches, or your own with the colour picker. Colours you pick are kept under “Your colours” for your next maps.
Map Studio with the map settings open: all map styles as small pictures, “In your colour” selected, and the colour swatches below

Questions people ask

Is it free?

Yes. All six styles, the brand colour and “Follow dark mode” are part of the free plugin. Map Studio Pro adds three more looks: Relief with shaded hills, and Satellite and Hybrid with aerial photos.

Can I change the style later?

Any time. The map is saved once and shown wherever you placed it. If you change the style in the studio, every page shows the new one.

Can my new maps start in my style?

Yes. Under Map Studio → Settings you set the look of your maps (style, colour and pins), and new maps start with it.

In which language are the place names?

In your site’s language wherever OpenStreetMap has the name in it, otherwise in the local name.
