MKMapView night mode like in iOS7 Apple Maps?

Is there an easy way to enable night mode on a MKMapView like the Apple Maps apps does when the sun is down ?

I didn't find such a thing the MapKit documentation.

Unfortunately it is a private api:

//add this above the interface of the class you want to try it on
@interface MKMapView ()
   -(void) _setShowsNightMode:(BOOL)yesOrNo;
@end

//call this in your viewDidLoad or somewhere else appropriate
[self.mapView _setShowsNightMode:YES];

We should file a radar for apple to open this up to everyone. It could be a safety issue for people using maps in third party apps while driving. Your app will be rejected if you try and submit it to the app store using this.

No, you'd have to use a third-party library like Mapbox iOS SDK or MBXMapKit.
