Summary

Map customization in Studio, particularly with label styling, enhances map legibility and engagement by allowing users to adjust text and icon positions using the "Text offset" and "icon offset" controls. Users can enrich labels by incorporating data-driven fields and contextual text, like adding prefixes or suffixes, to create informative map elements. The text can be positioned accurately, and its color can be varied based on data-driven values, which is particularly effective when combined with 3D Terrain features. Experimentation with these labeling techniques can significantly enhance the visual appeal and functionality of geographic maps.
