SUMMARY This is a minor issue, but I'd like to bring it up. The map view is blurry. Both in the main map view, and in the right side panel. That happens on MarbleVirtualGlobe/OpenStreetMap. On Mercator view, the map is a bit blurry until you zoom in or out, then it becomes crisp again. I guess the default level could be adjusted so it's crisp from the start? (However, it is always a bit blurry in Spherical and Equirectangular views, I guess due to interpolation, but I suppose that's expected.) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enter Map view 2. Select: Marble Virtual Globe, OpenStreetMap, and Projection: Mercator. 3. Select an album or tag containing geolocated pictures OBSERVED RESULT Notice how the text is slightly blurry. Now zoom in or zoom out. The text will become crystal clear, and no matter the zoom level, it will stay that way. EXPECTED RESULT The zoom level where the text is clear should be the default.

I see, I didn't know they were separate products.
@MarcP digiKam 8.0.0 is out. This entry still valid with this release ? Best regards Gilles Caulier
Yes, I just tested it and it's still relevant.

@MarcP, Did you try to use the OSM Vector map in geolocation view ? https://i.imgur.com/0PXvPR4.png Gilles Caulier
