• Serverless maps at 1/700 the cost of Google Maps API

  I will say I'm for this setup, but what you're saying is not exactly true. You can customize what is shown with the styling wizard, and completely remove types of markers from maps you create. https://mapstyle.withgoogle.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• How to change custom map style

  I have a custom map that I use for a game, and I would like to change it's style to a dark one, like the one we can find on https://mapstyle.withgoogle.com/, or on https://console.cloud.google.com/. However, when trying to edit my map, I only have 6 styling options (default, satellite, landmass, etc...), none of those being dark. Is there any way I could add a dark style? Maybe with the "JSON" you can generate... Source: over 3 years ago

• Complete Map of the Known World, AR 101 (Stand Still, Stay Silent)

  To that end, I took screenshots using Google's Map Style App. Really handy tool for getting a good sense of scale without having to deal with city names and other labels. I put those into GIMP as a base layer and edited the whole thing from there. It ended up being a way bigger project than I anticipated! I worked at it on and off for a couple months and finalized it with two versions of the map: the one you see... Source: over 3 years ago

• Finished my dad's Christmas present just in time

  I start by styling google maps to get the extra garbage out of there. Then I screen capture it and I finesse it with Photoshop or GIMP (free) to get the pics in a usable state for the laser cutter. Then I used LightBurn to actually make the cuts and etches. Source: over 3 years ago

• costanera course (editing explained below)

  To make this map I first used styling wizard and took a screenshot of the city, then opened inkscape to vectorise the image (to get vector quality). Source: almost 4 years ago
