New Google Maps base styles.

[mxxcon]

Google recently announced a new version of their "My Maps" product as seen here https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6009908?p=upgrade&rd=1 If you go to try it out, you'll see that you can change underlying map style. In some circumstances I think some of those layers could be beneficial, particularly "Simple Atlas" that keeps only street and neighborhood names.

Ready-for-use styles can be downloaded from sites like https://snazzymaps.com/explore?sort=recent Also there are some helpers, like https://mapstyle.withgoogle.com/
