The zoom levels of the v3 app are coarse. At various zoom levels the place names are very pixalized. This results in very unclear maps. Changing the moment of zoom to a higher resolution will result in a better user experience.

The open source mapping library we currently use doesn't have a nice way of handling this. We basically have two option. Either the current one with text that is blurry and a good readable size, or text that is sharp but very small. See the two screenshots as explanation. My feeling currently goes towards the smaller sharp text, as labels aren't that important while mapping.

I agree with the motivation for detailed maps and small text. The test is satisfying.
