This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
I am trying to disable POI pop ups in google map in View. There seem to be no option or short code to do that. As shown in screen shot, the POIs pops up easily on mobile especially in dense urban areas where there are many businesses. This shifts the map from the Markers I want to show. And I don't need these POIs at all.
Google presents option to do this via Styling: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/poi
But I do not know how to apply all these codes in Toolset.
Solution:
It is possible to customize style of Toolset maps, for example,
1) create a json file "No-poi.json", with the codes as the document you mentioned above:
[
{
"featureType": "poi.business",
"stylers": [
{ "visibility": "off" }
]
}
]https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/poi
2) upload it to your webserver, you will get the URL of the json file, for example:
http://site-url/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/No-poi.json
3) Then edit the map shortcode [wpv-map-render], add attribute "style_json" in it, specific the value as the JSON file URL, for example:
[wpv-map-render style_json="http://site-url/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/No-poi.json" ...][/wpv-map-render]

Hi,

Any advice?
