🚀 Today, we’re launching two new updates that make it easier to build clear, responsive maps with a single style.
✔️Global scale factor: Scale text and icons across devices and accessibility settings—no redesigns or duplicate styles.
✔️Appearances: Let icons and labels adapt automatically based on user interaction or data—no custom logic required.
Design once, deploy everywhere. Build maps that stay readable and dynamic across web, mobile, and in-vehicle experiences.
