[HOT] Feedback on I think mapswipe

[john whelan]

It was apparent on at least a dozen tiles with different mappers.  One
classic one was a highway that ran top right to bottom left, four segments
of highway and three of no highway and that sort of matched the pattern on
the tile view in TM.  Several places where the image was a bit darker the
segments were missing.

There was no regular pattern as you might expect with mini tiling or grid.

My thoughts run along the lines of a large IPS monitor shows the contrast
and image better than a small smartphone screen but that's only a guess.
