If you want to remove the dark transparent layer from Google Maps (SPPB addon), you have to use custom CSS code:
.sppb-addon-gmap::before {background: transparent !Important; }
OR
.sppb-addon-gmap::before {display: none;}
The above CSS code you have to use:
- In Page Options > Custom CSS
OR
- In the Template Custom code CSS area or the custom.css file
You can also unlock more map features (for example, zoom in/out) by DELETING that folder:
templates\shaper_hope\sppagebuilder\addons\gmap
But update SP Page Builder Pro before doing it. Or at least check if you have v.3.1.3 or later.
