Alpha Screenshot: Updated map styling

One of the first screenshots we posted on this blog was that of the Joffre Group, showing a popular range of mountains north of Pemberton, BC. One of the down sides of a development blog is that some screenshots may show features that improve over time.

Several changes have been made to map rendering the the intervening months; speed has been improved, as has quality with text anti-aliasing being turned on, and other rendering optimizations. Additionally, several map style edits have been done (for those interested these are merely colour, texture or transparency changes) which result in a much better looking screenshot.

The two screenshots are presented below for comparison.
