@aphyr WHY does the street name disappear when I zoom in. What the actual fuck.

@AuxilioAb It also appears and disappears as you scroll around the immediate area; it's like a game, you have to find the one true zoom level + pan position to get the name to display.

And then the font size is too small so you zoom in on the name only for it to disappear.

@aphyr Did U2 make this, an app where the streets have no name?
