Painfull/clunky new map zoom-unzoom (even in raster mode)
Natsoucarpien
Game used to run smoothly, but now it's so painfull to play ranked duels.
- vector being super bad : laggy, names jumping etc.
- laggy map even in raster mode (doesn't seems to work in ranked duels anyway)
- zoom/dezoom function taking so much scroll... my finger is in pain i have to take a break after every game.
- new animations can be turned off, but the process is still using way more CPU/GPU than before
Really sad update, turning me off the game, especially duels.

The zoom/dezoom has been my largest problem so far. I have many issues with it, but also understand SOME of those are out of their control. But the zoom/dezoom one, I frankly cant understand how they havent solved that one yet.
I brought this to their attention a week ago. They merged it with a mega-thread of scrolling issues on the new map here https://www.geoguessr.com/support/bug-reports/p/long-zoom-of-the-map
I'd go add an upvote to that one as well.

Today I can confirm has been the worst experience I ever had in GeoGuessr. Zooming in or out on the map is a painful experience. Need to scroll 3x more than it used to be to arrive to some level where no streets nor names will be visible. Doing the same on regular Google Maps works as smooth and friendly as possible, and all names, streets and other features are visible. Can't understand why cannot use simply the default Google Maps experience??

No places names until 100X zoom
Tony Greco
After the new update, on the map the names of places (cities, regions, districts...) don't appear if you don't zoom many and many times. Both in Duels and in the other sections and matches.

Map becomes laggy due to much higher GPU usage after opponent guesses
Vols and Jezuz
Like many others, I was suffering from horrible performance when the new map theme came out. Turning off animations and switching to the raster map type setting has made the performance acceptable most of the time. However, there are 4 scenarios I have found when the map still becomes extremely laggy, making zooming in and out much slower:
1) when opponent guesses first in duels and countdown timer begins (happens every time)
2) checking where the last location was in between rounds in a duel (pretty much every time)
3) reviewing rounds in the Game Breakdown page (sometimes)
4) inspecting guesses when you can interact with the map at the end of a replay (sometimes)
I did some investigation with Firefox's built-in Process Manager. I have observed that when the map is responsive, the usage of the 'GPU' process tops out around 80%. But when the map becomes extremely laggy, the usage of the 'GPU' process is reported as 120% - 140%, which is obviously pretty confusing. I won't speculate on why this is happening, but I'm hoping this might help the devs zero in on some of the causes of performance issues.
Reproduction steps:
1) have Firefox's Process Manager viewable in its own window via split-screen or second monitor
2) in a second window, open the map and spam scroll wheel up or down to keep the map continuously zooming in or out
3) observe the usage of the 'GPU' process in Process Manager

Google map doesn't load on Zoom

Can't see map markers and names when I zoom in. Too laggy sometimes, sometimes it doesn't work at all. Please fix it.
