Style Library¶
Stadia Maps has multiple map styles available. You can browse our house styles
below, or create your own. The {r}
placeholder should
be understood by most tile renderers. If yours does not understand this,
you can either leave it blank to get raw 256x256 PNGs, or manually replace
it with @2x
or @3x
for retina 2x or 3x scale. In the case of a request
made outside a web browser, make sure to add the API key via query string
or HTTP header as described here.
Alidade Smooth¶
Our custom Alidade Smooth style is designed for maps that use a lot of markers or overlays. It features a muted color scheme and fewer points of interest to allow your added data to shine.

Alidade Smooth Dark¶
Our custom Alidade Smooth Dark style is designed for maps that use a lot of markers or overlays, but need a little extra darkness. It features a muted dark color scheme and fewer points of interest to allow your added data to shine.

Outdoors¶
The Stadia Outdoors style is very close to the well known OSM Bright. It highlights a moderate number of features, and we've made some changes of our own to highlight natural features such as mountians. We recommend using this style where you provide directions, have minimal overlays or other data that might clash with the styling, or want POI data. While the name says "outdoors," we try to keep this style applicable to a wide range of uses.

OSM Bright¶
The OSM Bright style was developed as a sensible starting point for quickly making beautiful maps based on the OpenStreetMap database. It highlights the content in the map itself. We recommend using OSM bright where you provide directions, have minimal overlays or other data that might clash with the styling, or want POI data, and are not satisfied with our outdoors style for some reason.

Custom Styles¶
If you are using vector map tiles, you can design and host your own style. We recommend using Maputnik, an open-source style editor for editing GL JSON styles. You can get started by selecting "Open" from the Maputnik menu bar and pasting in one of our vector style URLs and customizing it to your liking.
If you need raster tiles with a custom style, or want to use your own sprites or fonts, contact us for enterprise pricing.
