Map styles for light and dark mode

Map styles allow for the customisation of how the colour of your map may look like in certain conditions.

For example, if you upload a blue map style colour for light map mode, it means that the map will become blue. If you upload a black map style colour for dark map mode, it means that the map will become black.

When light mode is turned on = blue coloured map

When dark mode is turned on = black coloured map

This can be seen when the user switches between the light and dark mode button when using either Interactive Kiosk or Explorer.

Map styles for Map Editor

For uploading a Map Editor mode map style, this means that when you go into Map Editor and make changes to locations or decide to create new locations, the map colour can be changed to a different look and feel.

As shown below, the colour of the map is using a very light grey-coloured map style. The area where the user has constructed their buildings and other locations shows a bit more colour but it uses the light grey map style as the foundation.
