You do realize that this 100% configurable by stylesheets? The entire point is, that their maps are stylable by the user (i.e. the app developer).

- NathanKP 12y agoOf course. I've used Mapbox before and messed around with customizing the stylesheets. But the reality is that creating your own stylesheets is a level of effort and attention to detail that most projects/startups can't afford to take on, at least not at first. The default stylesheets should look good and work well out of the box. Then if you have the time and manpower to customize them further great.
- incanus77 12y agoOne of the design goals with GL was to support cascading styles, so you can start with the predefined world map and just provide deltas of the things you want to change. For example: "Hide the buildings, set the text font to X, swap the stacking order of layers A and B, and override the default park color to blue".
- agildehaus 12y agoThe problem being that I might not know this particular thing is configurable. They need better defaults.
