        Default Outdoor navigation styles. Outdoor Style records can be created and modified by map admins (map_admin role). Outdoor style records have a name and a style file. Style files should comply with the Mapbox style specification. For example: default.json, empty.json, or openstreetmap.json.

        The default.json is the default outdoor map style provided and hosted by Indoor Mapping based on OpenStreetMap data and OpenMapTiles. An empty outdoor style has a white background with no outdoor map data at all. The openstreetmap.json has the standard map tiles from OpenStreetMap directly coming from OpenStreetMap.
        Note:
        Users must refer to OpenStreetMap license before using this in production.
