Question

This may not be possible, but I would like to change how maps look in the Android app I’m working on. I’ve gotten the basic functionality working via the MapView class, but I can’t find any information on how I might change how the maps are rendered. For instance, I might want the background to be black instead of the normal tan. Any ideas?! Hack answers are fine at this point if there aren’t any standard ways to do this.

Answer 1

• You could try putting a transparent overlay item with a tinge.
• The MapView has a couple of modes like Satellite terrain
• Try using OpenStreetMap for Android for a different look
