White flashes when zooming

Open verhovsky opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

When I zoom out or in on the map, I can see that Go Map!! clears imagery from the previous zoom level before replacing it with imagery from the new zoom level. The effect is that there are constant rapid bright white flashes lasting a couple frames.

At the very least please make the background color of the map a darker, less harsh color (either pure black or the dark blue of the ocean or something), and ideally get the loading of imagery frame-perfect so that previous zoom imagery is removed and replaced only when the next image can be shown on the next frame only.

It makes sense that zooming out you would have this problem at the edges of the screen where you don't have any imagery at all, though you could mitigate this by having a blurry maximum zoomed out picture of the earth loaded at all times so you can always approximately get the correct color of a tile when zooming out especially on the ocean, but on zooming in this should definitely never happen.
