    Hello, I wanted to see if there is a way to use the custom styled google maps found on http://www.snazzymaps.com. I’ve looked all through the back end files and am not sure of the right place to implement the code they provide.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

    I’m not 100% sure that GD can work with those styles, so I’m flagging this for Vikas.

    He’ll let you know asap.

    Thx

    It could be made to work, if you can get a few people to say they would be interested in this then we will build it.

    Thanks,

    That would be great if you could develop that Stiofan! I tried to implement the map styling myself through the map.js file but had no luck. Java Script is not my thing.

    How many people would we need to have request it to justify development?

    And thanks for the +1 dragonflyca.

    It would be nice to have a feature like Show/Hide map, also. Like in this example: http://uouapps.com/wp/glocal/

    Stiofan, Vikas can you please tell me in the meantime where to start if I want to implement JSON Styling File? Would like to try on my own some things – will also give you the feedback of my experiences.

    Thanks guys!

    If anyone is wondering how to do this until they develop it more completely follow these steps:

    1) Locate the map.js file under ( geodirectorygeodirectory-functionsmap-functionsjs )

    2) Search for var styles

    3) Below the var style, just add your google maps styles.

    This is what it may look like when done

    
    
    	
    var styles = [
    // Google Map Styles Starts Here
    {
    "stylers": [
      { "invert_lightness": true },
      { "saturation": -100 }
    ]
    },
    // Google Map Styles End Here
    {
    	featureType: "poi.business",
    	elementType: "labels",
    	stylers: [
    		{ visibility: "off" },
    	]
    }
    ];

    Hey, we were able to figure this out and are very happy with the results. Thanks for posting the solution Chris.

    However, whenever you update the GD plugin and Theme you have to re-upload the maps.js file. Is there any way I can add that file to the child theme so it will remain the default maps.js file?
