Today, the highest detail level is giving a patchwork of map tiles,
half from the most recent map and half from the previous one... the
colouring is different, so it is easy to tell which tiles are newer
and which are older, particularly if the boundary between new and
old runs through Euston Station. Every time you hit Refresh (F5)
you get a different selection, and the two coloured halves of
Euston swap around.

Looks OK to me.

Even if you hit Refresh multiple times? Maybe it's a caching problem
at Demon.


It appears to depend on what browser you use. On IE7 I get a mix of
the old and new tiles but on Firefox 3 I only get the new tiles.


It quite often seems to lock on to either the new or old map, but at other
times produces a different mixture of old and new tiles with each refresh.
I've seen both behaviours on IE6 and Firefox.
