<p>re you creating a mobile app or website with dark mode and looking for a map to fit the design? Try Dark and Night maps or create your own!</p><h2>Dark and Night map&nbsp;styles</h2><p><a href="/maps/#basic-v2-dark//vector/4/13/49">The Dark style</a> is a black map designed to minimize the distraction of users, who can focus on data you are presenting on top of them without being interrupted. Everything is as dim as possible and the contrast is just enough to make the map still readable.</p><p>The Night map is more <i>“fancy”</i>. Labels have high contrast and it is easy-to-read. The Night map can be used in apps where you don’t want to blind your users with a white map, e.g. for navigation in the cities during the night hours.</p><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lXDMfPhMMMc?autoplay=0&amp;start=0&amp;enablejsapi=1"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lXDMfPhMMMc" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><h2>Create your own dark map&nbsp;design</h2><p>Neither Dark nor Night is a “standalone” map.
