To be fair, it makes sense that Google Maps would have distinct concepts for "zooming in to the map" that would be separate from "resizing font".
The inverse problem exists on the browser, though - there's no way to resize the viewport on mobile.
- fastball 10y agoThe font size in Mobile Safari is easily enlarged.
- matrix 10y agoSure, but I think the font should be (to some extent) scaled proportionally to the map area or perhaps some other way of making the text larger. A typical use case for me is zooming in on a highway to see what exit number a particular ramp is. Today that info is basically unreadable on either platform.
