About Standard

Our default style and the closest match to what visitors expect a web map to look like: green parks, blue water, labelled points of interest, road shields and clear place names at every zoom.

Best for: Store locators, contact pages and anywhere people expect a map to look like a map.

Like every ExpressMaps style, Standard is served as vector tiles built from OpenStreetMap data, so it stays crisp on high-density screens, supports rotation and tilt, and works with MapLibre GL JS, Mapbox GL JS, OpenLayers and Leaflet. The style is a standard MapLibre style document, so you can also download it, change the colours and host your own variant.
