Blurred intentionally on Bing Maps. [15] Rendered in lower resolution on Google Maps and Mapquest. Heliport [16] in El Ejido: Spain: Square blurred on Google and Bing. Visible e.g. in HERE WeGo and Yandex.
Some PNG files will no longer auto-upsize to widths larger than the original, without causing the image to become skewed and blurry. Otherwise, PNG images still auto-thumbnail to smaller sizes and retain most of the clarity when smaller. All through 2008 and early 2009, JPEG images seem to thumbnail OK as well. The major problem has been the ...

The use of JPEG is discouraged, since it is a lossy compression format and so will result in a blurry map or diagram. The quality of GIF images is better than JPEG. GIF images allow for the creation of animations. PNG is a lossless, truecolor image format. It is good for all maps and particularly for maps with more than 256 colours.
Google Maps was one of the first major mapping sites to use this technique. The first tiled web maps used raster tiles, before the emergence of vector tiles. There are several advantages to tiled maps. Each time the user pans, most of the tiles are still relevant, and can be kept displayed, while new tiles are fetched.
Raster images are stored in image files with varying dissemination, production, generation, and acquisition formats. The printing and prepress industries know raster graphics as contones (from continuous tones). In contrast, line art is usually implemented as vector graphics in digital systems. [2]
optipng -o7 file.png advdef -z4 file.png pngout /ks file.png deflopt file.png Each of these utilities uses a different, more sophisticated "deflate" compression method variant on the PNG and generally produces a smaller file when run after the other tools. If the smallest result matters, try some experimenting to see what produces the best result.
Google Maps is a web mapping platform and consumer application offered by Google. It offers satellite imagery, aerial photography, street maps, 360° interactive panoramic views of streets (Street View), real-time traffic conditions, and route planning for traveling by foot, car, bike, air (in beta) and public transportation.
