DEPRECATED: Legacy cloud styling is deprecated and is slated for retirement starting on or after March 18, 2025. At that point, your legacy map styles will automatically update. Google recommends you update to the new cloud-based maps styling before March 2025. For more information about the deprecation, see Deprecations. To update your legacy styles, see Update a map style to the latest version.

Once your app is delivered to customers, custom styles for maps
with map IDs can be updated from Google Cloud console. The new styles
will be reflected in your app in a few hours.
To make sure new custom styles show up immediately for testing purposes,
