Hello,

I know you can customize things in the Google map shown in the link below:

https://developers.google.com/maps/tutorials/customizing/styling-the-base-map

Can any of this be done with the map in mapView?

Thanks,

Warren

Thanks. I could probably load a Google map in a webview control and have it customized since I am loading a web page. My only problem with this is I want to do something in the app when a marker is clicked. I was planning to make my own popup when a marker is clicked so I can include a button in it and do something on the event. If I use a map in a webview I cannot do this. Right?

If you are using a webview to google’s maps, you should be able to do anything google’s maps can do on a web page.  Your work would not be in Lua or Corona but some HTML/Javascript/CSS combo that has your HTML based map object on it.  I don’t know why you couldn’t interact with it, but again, it’s going to be outside of Corona.
