This example applies custom styles to a map by setting
`MapOptions.styles` to a JSON object containing style declarations.
Select an option to see some of the customizations you can apply with map
styling. One of the options shows you how to hide features,in this case by
removing business points of interest and public transport icons from the map.

      document has been parsed. For non-blocking uses, avoiding race conditions,
      and consistent behavior across browsers, consider loading using Promises. See
