So, I want to create my own stylers on my map. For example, suppose that I want to put some flowers (or something else) in the country's limits, how can I do it?
I use the google maps's stylers but there is a limit: we may use the different stylers (opacity, color ...) provided by google. How can I create my own styler?
My map use stylers like stylers you can find here on google developer web site. The documentation does not describe my problem and I tried to find some other ways in some web sites like stack overflow without success.
I will use in example the map of the documentation in order to simplified the example. So, this is my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Styled Map Types</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
* element that contains the map. */
#map {
height: 100%;
}
/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
function initMap() {
// Create a new StyledMapType object, passing it an array of styles,
// and the name to be displayed on the map type control.
var styledMapType = new google.maps.StyledMapType(
