Google Maps: Configure map styles?

JavaScript
1

I’m building a Web app that uses Google Maps. I’d like to style the map, so it matches the theme a bit more than the default Google Map Styles, and I’d also like to NOT show the Points of Interest (like businesses etc.) on the map.

What’s the best way to do this? I know you can feed the app some JSON to tell it how to style the map, but is there a way to style the map on Google’s backend?

Have you considered using OpenStreetMap instead?
