There are a number of Advanced properties available to help you add custom styling to your map. Below are the most popular.
Property

Custom Map Style String (Google Maps Only) Advanced
Accepts a JSON string imported from the Google Maps API styling wizard. Map Type must be set to standard and provider must be set to google.
Shows Traffic Advanced
Default (false); if true, shows real-time traffic overlay on the map
Edit Map size

Property

Default (Fill container); Four options: 1) Fit contents which auto-sizes to the content size or 2) Fill container which auto-sizes to the container 3) Relative size in percent of Screen, 4) Absolute size in pixels
Width

Property

Default (none); Margin is the space outside of the border of a component; You can set space on the top, bottom, right or left of the component in both pixels or percent of Screen
Padding Advanced
Default (none); Padding is the space between the contents and the border of a component; You can set space on the top, bottom, right or left of the component in both pixels or percent of Screen
Add marker
There are limited styling options for markers at the moment. We are working to add the ability to change colors as well as add custom icons
The default map marker is red on both Google and Apple Maps
You can add a standard default marker to your map with the blocks below. The Map component does not yet supply its own latitude and longitude so we currently recommend using the Location Sensor component
Add polyline
This is the satellite map available on Google Maps on Android and iOS
To add a polyline, you can use the blocks below where coordinates need to be in a list of latitude and longitude objects, stroke Width is an integer and stroke Color is in hex format
Add polygon
This is the satellite map available on Apple Maps, available for iOS
To add a polygon, you can use the blocks below where coordinates need to be in a list of latitude and longitude objects, stroke Width is an integer, stroke Color is in hex format, and fill Color is in hex format
​
Clear map
Sometimes it's helpful to clear all of the markers, polylines and polygons from the map, e.g. when you are trying to update your location in real-time which requires adding a marker and deleting existing markers.
The deleteAllMarkers block will clear all data from the map. This includes markers, polylines, and polygons.
