Allow to use the new Google Maps theme
secret agent
For people like me, it's much easier to navigate the new map theme because the old style feels too disorienting and eye-straining. I ask the developers to add an option to use the default theme.
As the official statement claims "the default map isn’t ideal for GeoGuessing", implying that it probably doesn't give any advantages to players (https://geoguessr.canny.io/changelog/guessing-map-update-10th-of-march). Moreover, the difference is only in color palette and not the behavior (what shows up on zoom in/out is the same in both themes). Therefore it wouldn't be unfair to allow such an option to exist and it would create a more inclusive space.

In light of current issues with the roll out of Geoguessr's custom map, it only makes more sense to stick with the default Google Maps style.

I agree, scanning for white roads on bright backgrounds is not a good experience. Also on some levels of zoom big roads becoming less visible compared to smaller roads around is just weird. I feel like I'd rather get used to new default google map, than play on current version
