- NikolaNovak 3y agoThat is fascinating but true! :) Would you mind elaborating, since we're here already? :) In particular, what makes the gray roads superior to yellow ones? I find it significantly harder to quickly figure out the layout / roadmap - this is what my neighbourhood looks like now - everything looks like it's been hit with "desaturate/decontrast" filter :| https://ibb.co/wJkw84t https://ibb.co/wJkw84t
- tssva 3y agoThe yellow roads were a little visually overwhelming for me. They made it hard for me to focus on the map as they would tend to draw my attention away. The grey roads actually stand out better for me because I'm not visually distracted.
- tedmiston 3y ago> The yellow roads were a little visually overwhelming for me. Funny how that works. My experience is similar to OP's that the dark grey roads feel very "heavy" and visually overwhelming. I guess for me the light yellow roads faded into the light colored background a bit more.
- izacus 3y agoI find improved contrast and addition of more colors significantly more readable and glanceable - easier to immediately see what's where. It's especially better in the car when using Auto, where seeing the lay of the streets is faster with darker contrast. The new fonts with outlines are much more readable for me as well.
- paulcole 3y agoFor me personally, I think the update is fine and the old version was fine. It’s just harder for me to get significantly worked up over small changes that cause no major inconvenience than most people on HN. I can’t control it so why complain about it or even think about it?
