Between February 2025 and August 2025, Google Maps Platform will add road level details such as crosswalks, sidewalks, lane markings, and road widths to the default map style for the APIs and SDKs listed in this document. To confirm compatibility with your maps experience, you can opt in to use the road level details earlier than August, depending on the product you use. After mid-August 2025, road level details will always be enabled by default.
The visibility of these details are available at zoom levels 17+ and may vary over time. Details such as lane markings may not appear on all roads even in areas that support lane markings.
When you increase zoom levels to 17+ with road level details enabled, Road map feature types such as highways and arterials will disappear and be replaced by the new Road detail map feature called Surface. To ease the transition of styles from a Road map feature to the Surface map feature, you can customize the zoom level style using cloud-based maps styling. For more details, see Preview road level details.
