How to show or hide map labels
Open the theme editor (hover the palette button and click Create your own, or edit a saved theme), switch off Map labels, and click Save theme. Base map names disappear while your destination labels stay.
Step by step
Open the theme editor
Hover the palette button and click Create your own. To change a theme you already saved, hover it under Custom themes and click its pencil.
Switch off Map labels
Under Style, turn off Map labels. Country, ocean and road names vanish from the preview right away. Your destination labels always show.
Save the theme
Click Save theme to apply it to your map and keep it for later.
Which labels does this change?
| Label | How to change it |
|---|---|
| Country, ocean and road names on the base map | Map labels switch in the theme editor (this guide) |
| Your destination labels | Rename or hide a label |
| Font, size and color of destination labels | Change label fonts and colors |
