MAP TYPE GUIDE
Which one should I choose?
Simple uses a quiet neutral canvas for clean overlays.
Reference (Human) keeps settlements, services, roads, land, water, and labels useful.
Reference (Topographic) adds terrain, contours, hillshade, trails, and landforms.
Reference (All) keeps the broadest label, POI, boundary, and transportation context.
Transportation prioritizes roads, transit, rail, airports, ferries, and navigation.
Human Geography uses sparse dark context for boundaries, settlements, and human systems.
Data Visualization reduces visual competition so thematic data can stand out.
Nature / Outdoors emphasizes parks, trails, terrain, contours, and hillshade.
