Description

The Custom Google Maps addon applies custom color schemes and styles to GeoDirectory maps, allowing you to edit individual layers such as roads, water, parks, and railways, as well as adjust hex, hue, gamma, saturation, and lightness parameters. It works with both Google Maps and Open Street Maps, with the option to import ready-made styles from Snazzy Maps and use paid layers via API key.

How to Download Custom Google Maps

Custom Google Maps is available for download here on Ultrapack. Step-by-step install instructions for this file are in the How to install tab, next to the description. Once activated, the style options appear alongside the GeoDirectory map settings.

Local directories live and die by their maps, and a map with a default look clashes with any project that has its own identity. This component solves that at the layer level: every map element accepts color and intensity adjustments, and the result applies to all maps in the directory, except for Google’s static maps, which do not support styling.
