To use cloud-based maps styling on Android, you must use the latest renderer for Maps SDK for Android. [Follow these instructions](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/renderer.md.txt).

## Billing

Using cloud-based maps styling requires a
[map ID](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/get-map-id). On
Maps SDK for Android, Maps SDK for iOS, and JavaScript,
using a map ID incurs a charge against the
[Dynamic Maps SKU](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/sku-details/maps.md.txt#dynamic-maps-ess-sku).
On the Maps Static API,
using a map ID incurs a charge against the
[Static Maps](https://developers.google.com/maps/billing-and-pricing/sku-details/maps.md.txt#static-maps-ess-sku)
SKU.

## Application and website requirements

To display map styles, your websites and applications require the
following platform versions:

- **JavaScript vector-based maps** : JavaScript Maps API 3.47 or later. To set up
  the latest version, see
  [Set up the Maps JavaScript API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/load-maps-js-api.md.txt).

- **JavaScript raster-based maps** : JavaScript Maps API 3.49 or later. To set up
  the latest version, see
  [Set up the Maps JavaScript API](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/load-maps-js-api.md.txt).

- **iOS** : iOS Maps SDK 8.3.1 or later. To set up the latest version, see
  [Set up an Xcode project](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/config.md.txt).

- **Android** : Android SDK version 18.0.0 or later with the new
  [Android Map Renderer](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/renderer.md.txt)
  and Google Play services version 23.33.16 or later. To set up the latest version, see
  [Set up an Android Studio project](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/config.md.txt).

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** To unlock most of the cloud styling features on JavaScript Maps, consider using the Maps JavaScript API [beta channel](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/versions.md.txt#choosing-the-beta-channel).
