Add an Android Maps style for OneBusAway
Summary:
Related to https://github.com/OneBusAway/onebusaway-android/issues/891, which added more distracting POI icons to the map.
We should examine the new Android Maps styling configurations and determine which makes the most sense to adopt in OBA, with the goals being clear and uncluttered maps for public transportation navigation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/styling
Steps to reproduce:
- Go to "Nearby" view and look at map
Expected behavior:
Map should be styled and optimized for public transportation
Observed behavior:
We're using the old default style, which will be removed in August 2018 in favor of a new mandatory style (https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/72780606#comment1), which adds POI icons and other potentially distracting icons and text
Device and Android version:
N/A
Users have indicated a clear preference over time for not having businesses/POIs included (see https://github.com/OneBusAway/onebusaway-android/issues/891), so we should remove those.
