+
+To set your own custom map style, import your custom map style in JSON format.
+
+```javascript
+const mapStyle = [
+  {
+    featureType: 'landscape.man_made',
+    elementType: 'geometry.fill',
+    stylers: [
+      {

+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  ]

+       styles: mapStyle

 ## Manually loading the Google API
 
 If you prefer not to use the automatic loading option, you can also pass the `window.google` instance as a `prop` to your `<Map />` component.
