30 cm HD 5 m Vivid Advanced uses a very low-resolution source image for zoom levels 11–13, which results in lower clarity than other Vivid basemaps at those zoom levels. We are aware of the impact to the user experience, and we are working on a fix to provide a more consistent progression of image resolution as users move through zoom levels.
