> You basically have a really hard time seeing the white roads on the light grey background, especially when looking at the display from some angle.

Also how past a certain zoom level forests simply vanish and the distinction between built-up areas and "open space that isn't a park" (which isn't too great to start with) gets smaller and smaller until it's virtually impossible to distinguish.




I just tried this, and it's somewhat strange? Zoom out until you can see the globe, and forests are shown. Zoom in one step, and forests are all but invisible. As you continue to zoom in, contrast is all over the place.

Turning on terrain mode does, however, increase contrast for every zoom level.
