Streetmap curiosity
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. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.sr...1&y=182773&z=1 I've just clicked on the above URL and found Euston station in two colours. I clicked "Large Map" to widen the area and found that St Pancras and King's Cross were similarly two-tone. Then I clicked refresh and the tones on all three stations were swapped! -- Richard J.

On IE7 I get a mix of the old and new tiles but on Firefox 3 I only get the new tiles. Peter Smyth |

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. -- Richard J. (to email me, swap 'uk' and 'yon' in address) |

As this is the first post you've made on the subject, I would I know that this is your first visit to the site? I don't do telepathy. As none of the other posters have indicated that this is their first visit, I was simply making a suggestion. Regardless of browser or number of refreshes, I don't see the symptoms that are reported. I have just been there (for the first every time) and I have a two-tone Euston as well tim |
