Google Map, how to make it look brighter? it looks a little dark

Issue

Hi I'm using google map in my app and I'm wondering if there's a way to make it look brighter, clearer, right now it looks a little dark specially when you are looking at places with lots of vegetation like London, it is a very dark green and I would like to make it look brighter. I was testing my app outdoors there was a lot of sun and the screen automatically increased the brightness to the max and the map looked beautiful, is there a way?

Solution

This answer is based on OP's comment on answer posted by Carlos.

Since you said, that's just the way Google maps is, that is just the default Google Maps theme.

You can change the theme to however you want.

https://mapstyle.withgoogle.com/

This site will show you the options and give basic JSON format at the end for you to put in a file and create your own theme. You can make it lighter or darker.

When you get the JSON at the end, understand it. The site only allows few options to change but you can modify JSON and really create a very unique theme.

To learn more and understand the JSON object provided, read more here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/style-reference
