Any update of this map customization feature?

Dear Google, should we wait on you or we have to go with www.mapbox.com or another alternatives? Our game can wait max till Feb 2014, but not any longer :(

please make it possible to customize maps style.

Did you updated source document? or you are still working on it?
I want to change map style in my iPhone app.

PLEEEEEEASE make it possible to customize maps style.

I would also like to vote for this bug. Most times we just need polylines above a pure black background. Making everything not related to the track black would be the perfect solution.

Want this!

please make it possible to customize google maps via the api

Yes Please make it possible

yeah pls

Google, we have a problem....

The only workaround (while sticking with Google Maps) is to use a webview, which is extremely glitchy and performs poorly.  This feature needs to be added to the SDK.

Why is this not a standard feature anyway???????

I agree, I'm developing an iOS app with a GMSMapView and I was hopping to be able to change the map colors to match my app theme colors ... I think its an important feature to add to the SDK, please Google =D

this needs to happen.

we need it!

please make it happen!

:*(

I need this to happen as well! 8-)

We would have used the Google Maps API instead of the native one if this had been implemented.

Please add styled map feature in google map ios sdk

Please please do this :(

This is really important to us for accessibility reasons.

This is a hilarious case study for waiting 2 years with zero f*cks given by Google. Map box looks really interesting.

Map Box doesn't do @3x :(

We really need this, its possible on the web version but not for mobile? Should be customizable too.

google map the best map. But we need this feature (((

Please do it!

We need this feature in our iOS apps badly.

Please do it!

I'm waiting for . . .

I am working on a project for a client, who purchased a license for the SDK. Only once we started to work on integration of the SDK was is it clear that this feature isn't available. So, we talked with Google and the response was very disappointing. "Yes, we know that many people want this feature. No, we can't tell you when or if we will be adding it." I think that this is a typical situation where transparency would help Google.

I needed this feature back in Oct 2013, its pending since then. I used MapBox instead they have great features, and great flexibility of creating Custom Maps, they are way ahead of google.

Typical google, no wonder apple has record profits, at least they have a tight API and clear product roadmaps.

See you later Android, I'd hate to be a developer locked into using Android.

Lol. #googlenoidea.

This seems like it would have been addressed by now but I too would love to see this.

Would love to have the custom feature :)

Mainly a dark custom map, for late night driving.

There should be a VeryNeatIdea status, who wouldn't want to be able to make custom styles

Please add this feature!

Did anyone implemented styled maps using 'GMSMapView' ?
