We are delighted to announce support for Snazzy Maps in our Custom Google Maps addon (1.0.5).
What is Snazzy Maps?
Snazzy Maps is an online resource that enables users to customize the colors, saturation, and other styling options of their Google Maps.
The customization options are provided in the form of different map styles designed by various authors across the web.
In addition to editing maps with Snazzy Maps, users can create their Snazzy Map styles for use within their websites or apps.
All customized maps also offer high-resolution satellite imagery and vector support for both web and mobile devices.
With these features, businesses and developers alike can create visually appealing maps for their projects without relying on coding skills.
Why did we add support for Snazzy Maps on GeoDirectory?
Just over a week ago, one of our Members `Pieter Ravelli` brought the website to our attention, and it struck a chord with the team here, so it was pushed to the top of our development tasks.
This defines our ethos here at GeoDirectory. If a member can suggest something that will benefit all members, we will happily add it.
