Key Highlights

Keeps Terrain mode in true dark mode instead of a dim brown tint
Leaves Satellite view in natural colors
Keeps place photos, videos, and Street View unfiltered

Details

Google Maps - Dark Blue Mode with Lighter Streets changes Google Maps on google.com into a dark blue interface designed around readable roads, labels, panels, search fields, menus, and sidebar controls. It also brightens common place action labels such as directions, save, nearby, send to phone, and share.

The tweek handles map layers separately: the standard map and Terrain layer use the same invert-based dark mode treatment for a true dark appearance, while Satellite view remains in natural color. Place photos, videos, and Street View are left unfiltered so media does not look color-inverted or distorted.
