Map Settings
The Map Settings tab lets you customize the map's appearance and control which data layers and features are visible. Open it by clicking the Map Settings tab in the left sidebar while on the map page.
Map Themes
Zeus.ai offers a variety of map themes organized into two categories.
Enhanced Vector 3D
Vector themes are optimized for performance and support 3D tilt and rotation.
| Theme | Description |
|---|---|
| Satellite | Aerial imagery with 3D buildings |
| Dark Roadmap | Dark-toned road map with 3D terrain |
| Modern Roadmap | Clean, modern road map with 3D support |
TIP
Vector 3D themes load faster and perform better with large numbers of site markers. Choose one of these if you notice performance issues with raster themes.
Styled Raster
Raster themes offer rich visual styles with more design variety. These themes support Map Features toggles (points of interest, roads, labels, etc.).
| Theme | Description |
|---|---|
| Satellite | Classic aerial / satellite imagery |
| Classic | Standard Google Maps styling |
| Minimal | Simplified, low-contrast map |
| Apple Maps-esque | Apple Maps-inspired color palette |
| Blue Essence | Blue-toned clean design |
| Retro | Vintage, muted color scheme |
| Midnight Blue | Deep blue dark theme |
| Zeus Dark | Zeus.ai branded dark theme |
| Shades of Grey | Monochrome grayscale |
| High Contrast | Bold colors for maximum readability |
| Midnight Commander | Dark theme with vivid accents |
| Modern Roadmap | Contemporary flat design |
To change the theme, click any theme card in the Map Settings panel. The map updates immediately.
Data Layers
Data layers overlay real-time information on top of the map. Toggle each layer on or off independently.
| Layer | Description |
|---|---|
| Real-time Traffic | Color-coded road segments showing current traffic conditions |
| Public Transit | Transit lines and stations |
| Bicycle Paths | Designated cycling routes and bike lanes |
INFO
Some data layers may not be available when using Enhanced Vector 3D themes. If a layer toggle is disabled, switch to a raster theme to use it.
Map Features
Map feature toggles are available on raster themes only. They let you control the visibility of specific map elements.
Points of Interest
Control which point-of-interest (POI) markers appear on the map.
| Toggle | Description |
|---|---|
| All POIs | Master toggle — turns all point-of-interest markers on or off |
| Businesses | Commercial establishments (stores, restaurants, etc.) |
| Parks | Parks, recreation areas, and green spaces |
| Healthcare | Hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities |
| Government | Government buildings and offices |
| Attractions | Tourist attractions and landmarks |
| Schools | Schools, universities, and educational institutions |
| Worship | Churches, mosques, temples, and other places of worship |
TIP
Turn off All POIs to declutter the map when you're focused on your site markers and data layers. Turn on specific categories to see relevant nearby locations — for example, enable Businesses to spot competitor locations.
Map Elements
Control the visibility of base map elements.
| Toggle | Description |
|---|---|
| Roads | Road lines and highway markers |
| Labels | Place names, street names, and other text labels |
| Boundaries | Administrative boundaries (city, county, state, country) |
| Water | Rivers, lakes, oceans, and other water features |
| Terrain Features | Elevation shading, mountain ranges, and landforms |
Settings Persistence
Your map settings are saved per project and persist across sessions. When you return to a project, your previously selected theme, data layers, and feature toggles are restored automatically.
INFO
Each project maintains its own independent map settings. Changing the theme in one project does not affect other projects.
