Summary:A user interface is provided that allows a user to customize features, and attributes of features, of a map displayed by a map application. The features may include roads, buildings, parks, bodies of water, specific types of businesses (e.g., restaurants, drug stores, hospitals, banks), etc. The attributes of a feature may include colors, graphics, and fonts that are used to display the associated feature on the map. The user interface allows the user to customize the attributes and features, and to save the customized attributes and features as a theme.

The theme marketplace may allow users to browse available themes which may be made available for free or for purchase.
