Code Editor (JavaScript)

// Use a dictionary to add some typo protection.
var mapTypes = {
  HYBRID: 'HYBRID',
  ROADMAP: 'ROADMAP',
  SATELLITE: 'SATELLITE',
  TERRAIN: 'TERRAIN'
};

Map.setOptions({mapTypeId: mapTypes.HYBRID});
Map.setOptions({mapTypeId: mapTypes.ROADMAP});
Map.setOptions({mapTypeId: mapTypes.SATELLITE});
Map.setOptions({mapTypeId: mapTypes.TERRAIN});

// Add a basemap that inverts the lightness to make a darker background.
Map.setOptions({
  styles:
      {'Inverted': [{featureType: 'all', stylers: [{invert_lightness: true}]}]}
});

// Use types keyword to control map type visibility, e.g. show only 'Inverted'.

      {'Inverted': [{featureType: 'all', stylers: [{invert_lightness: true}]}]},
