On March 18, Google will discontinue support for their previous map theme (the ones we currently use) and revert to the default Google Maps theme.
We understand that the default map isn’t ideal for GeoGuessing, so we’ve created our own theme that aims to resemble what's live today.
There will be some differences due to how roads are rendered now; some roads might be slightly easier or harder to see. The opacity will change but there is no setting to adjust this. The new map still uses bitmaps.
We’ll switch to the theme on Monday the 10th of March.
