The WPSLP Experience Add On and MySLP Professional support the  Google Map Style rules. These rules let you control the “inner style” of the map itself. Pre-defined map rules allow you to set a variety of styles via the  map settings on the SLP admin panel.

For MySLP go to Store Locator Plus > Settings > Map > Map Style

For WPSLP go to Store Locator Plus > Settings > Map > Map Style

The value of this entry is a Google Maps JSON style string.  Some of our Plugin Styles in the Style Gallery will set this for you.    You can also build your own with services like Map Style With Google.

Turning Off Google Icons

To leave most of the standard Google Maps interface in place but hide icons of other places, “Points of Interest” in Google terms, you can use this JSON style.

[
   {
       "featureType": "poi",
       "elementType": "all",
       "stylers": [
           {
               "visibility": "off"
           }
       ]
   }
]

 

Other Options

Premier / Enterprise users can also turn off the ability to click on Google Maps points of interest without hiding the icons.
