I noticed today a distinct difference in the textures used for the World Map. They look OK, but just grainier and mottled and in somewhat more dimensional than before.
Maybe just me. =)

I noticed it yesterday. It must be from that work that Philip Linden was doing on the maps.

i noticed that last week when i pulled up a slurl. double checked the inworld map and YUP! definitely more defined.
i also noticed that somewhat transparent prims appear on the map as partially transparent. _____________________

Looks nice! I can even see the waves on the SW shoreline of Lost Gryphon Island.

They seem to be updated more frequently? Or maybe I am just noticing it. I can see stuff I just rezzed out visible in the maps!

all of the above, except for "but just grainier and mottled"... Maybe "grainier and mottled" weren't the right choice of words. Mottled = "having spots or patches of color" Grainy = having a clearly defined grain: said of textures or surfaces   And perhaps a better example of what I mean by mottled [zoomed out a bit]:  As I said, I like the change. - Infrared _____________________

the way it looks to me is i can see my prims i drop in blue..not the bright blue like on the mini map but a blue that shows they are mine instead of the true color of my build..i'm not sure i like that..it would be nice to see my build the way it looks to everyone else..
