With the Google Maps Platform cloud-based maps styling in the Google Cloud Console, you can select colors and set visibility for features on the default `roadmap` map type and apply it to all of your JavaScript, iOS, and Android applications.\n\nWhile Google Maps provides different views, such as satellite, terrain, and road map, cloud-based maps styling affects only the default `roadmap` map type.\n\nFor information on other ways to customize your map, see [Customize Maps](../map-ids/customize-maps-overview.md).\n\nWhy use cloud-based maps styling\n\nWith cloud-based maps styling, you can create more engaging and informative maps\nand update them without code changes:\n\n- **More map features** : Customize almost 100 individual map features, in four categories. Points of interest includes features such as Entertainment, Recreation, and Services, which each also have several child features. For example, Services includes ATM, Bank, Gas station, and Restroom. For the full list, see [What you can style on a map](/maps/documentation/javascript/cloud-customization/taxonomy).\n- **More ways to customize maps**: Cloud-based maps styling makes it easier and more intuitive for you to style your map. Recent updates give you more granular control over the look and feel of the basemap with labels and geometries not previously available for map features. For example, you can customize labels applied to tourist attractions, restaurants, recreational areas, emergency services, retail, and more.\n- **Maps load quickly after the first use**: After the initial startup time as a map style is downloaded and cached, subsequent views and pan/zoom movement of the map are faster.\n- **Improved map style editor interface**: Map settings let you define map style properties, such as Building and landmark styles and POI density levels. Styleable elements are all shown on a single panel, giving you more visible map area when making customizations. It is also easier to find your map feature with more intuitive categories that expand and collapse, plus a filter box to scope the list to the map feature you need.\n\nWhat can you do with cloud-based maps styling\n\nYou can do the following with cloud-based maps styling:\n\n- **Use a no-code style editor**: A designer can create and preview a style to match your goals and branding without needing to code.\n- **Change styles without code changes**: Draft and test map style changes without any changes to your code once the map ID is in place.\n- **Style more map features**: Change the visibility and color of more map features, such as roads, buildings, bodies of water, points of interest, and transit routes.\n\nHow cloud-based maps styling works\n\nMap styles are stored and edited in the Google Maps Platform Cloud Console. Your\napplication uses a map ID to request a map style from the cloud console, and then\napplies it to your application. You can have several map IDs associated with the same map style,\nso your maps can look the same across your application platforms. \n\nHow to use cloud-based maps styling\n\n|---|--------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| 1 | **Get started** | Head over to [Get started and set up](/maps/documentation/javascript/cloud-customization/setup-leg), and then check out the [Tutorial](/maps/documentation/javascript/cloud-customization/tut-leg). |\n| 2 | **Create a cloud-based map style** | See [Create and use map styles](/maps/documentation/javascript/cloud-customization/map-styles-leg). |\n| 3 | **Associate your map style with a map ID** | Create or open a map ID for your application type, and assign a map style to it. You can create additional map IDs for applications on other platforms and assign the same map style to them. For details, see [Associate or remove map IDs on your style](/maps/documentation/javascript/cloud-customization/map-styles-leg#associate-style-with-map-id). |\n| 4 | **Add the map ID to your application** | Your maps then use the map style associated with that map ID. For details, see [Add the map ID to your map](/maps/documentation/get-map-id#add-a-map-id-to-your-app). |\n| 5 | **Adjust your map style online** | Whenever you need to change your map style, edit it in cloud styling. For details, see [Update a map style](/maps/documentation/javascript/cloud-customization/map-styles-leg#update-style). |\n| 6 | **Publish your changed map style** | When you're ready to update a map style, publish it, and your new map style shows up in your application. For details, see [Publish a map style](/maps/documentation/javascript/cloud-customization/map-styles-leg#publish-style). |\n\nWhat's next\n\n- Try out the [Tutorial](/maps/documentation/javascript/cloud-customization/tut-leg).\n- Check out cloud styling application requirements.
