Agreed, I hate when streets on maps don't have labels. It would be so easy to do.

- insickness 4y agoOh my god, this is such a huge pet peeve of mine, particularly when walking or riding a bike. They draw out the path on the map but 90% of the streets aren't labeled, including the street you're supposed to turn on.
- zimpenfish 4y agoI've been bitten by this recently and I think it's because they're still following paper map rules for labels - like they'll[1] put the street name halfway down the street even if you're zoomed into the first 5% of it because that's what you'd do on a paper map and it would work fine there. (I'd also like the option for bigger / contrastier labels and a way to turn off all the business names because 99% of the time I don't want them cluttering up the map when I'm just flaneuring about London.) [1] Apple Maps and Google Maps both suffer from this. maps.me also suffers from it but inconsistently - sometimes it'll put it at 50%, sometimes it'll double up at 33% and 66%, sometimes it'll just not label a road...
- MiddleEndian 4y agoI don't understand why they can't figure it out, just fucking slide the text to where it's visible.
