New basemap styling is coming soon to Google Maps Platform. This update to map styling includes a new default color palette, modernized pins, and improvements to map experiences and usability. All map styles will be automatically updated in March 2025. For more information on availability and how to opt in earlier, see New map style for Google Maps Platform.
Describes the drawing style for a stamp image over a GMSStyleSpan.
Note
Only supports transparent background. If any color is set to the GMSStyleSpan it will
only be treated as a fallback.
Note
Use of GMSSpriteStyle requires Metal rendering framework. See
GMSServices::setMetalRendererEnabled:(BOOL) to learn how to enable Metal. If GMSStyleSpan is
added to a map without Metal being enabled, the stamp will not render and instead the polyline
span will attempt to fallback to any set color. If no color is set, it will fallback to the
default polyline color, [UIColor blueColor].
Note
Use GMSMapView::mapCapabilities property to query if a GMSMapView supports
GMSSpriteStyle.
