HI. I have a problem. I don’t know why my Google maps on android have a grey tint on the cities areas.
Any idea how to fix this?

Hi @mariusfunie
can you please check wich king of wiew you are using, pressing on the circled control?
If you are on “terrain” please switch to the predefined view.
Hi @mariusfunie ,
you can change the view of the maps by clicking the levels icon as indicated by the arrow:
More infos about what you can view in Maps in the official guide : View places, traffic, terrain, biking, and transit
Bye,

As you can see, it’s something related to my account. I’ve added a new account and everything looks ok…I don’t know how to fix it.
Hi @mariusfunie
It’s a wonder that you have achieved such a high contrast view without any effort!
The Maps app does not provide any means to change the colour scheme.
Even so, a colour change is possible through the following three possibilities.
Nevertheless, these routes produce changes which become applicable for all users. A per-user change is not possible.
Incidentally, have you tried clearing the app cache & local data through the settings?
If the high contrast view continues to be there even after that, then it has to do something with the server-side account configuration.
Hi,
I didn’t use Android studio, in developer settings everything is the same (I actually disable all the developer settings).
It’s really strange, because I’ve added my account on another phone and the maps have the same grey contrast… But only for my account…
I tried to find solutions on forums but actually nobody have this bug.
Hi @mariusfunie ,
Thanks for reaching out to the community!
Just to check, would the issue still occur?
Do feel free to share further updates on the matter. : ]
@sonnyNg still have the problem.
Hi @mariusfunie ,
Thanks for the follow up!
To dig a bit deeper into the case, with the peculiar occurrence of the Google Maps color, would there be anything irregular with the normal functionality from the application (with your account logged in)?
For the moment, it would seem that we are yet to be able to reproduce the case, as further details may probably shed some lights.
@sonnyNg Nope. Everything works normal, just the color is different. But as I said, just for my account. If I login with my account on other phone I have the same issue.
Two months and you still don’t have an answer or a solution…
Hi @mariusfunie ,
Thanks for the confirmation.
We will make sure to check on our side, as on the matter if there would be any further development, do feel free to share on the thread.
