The WebGL version of Google Maps overdraws like crazy, which is why it’s slow. That depth buffer is your friend, folks! Use it!

Not sold on Google Maps’ use of signed distance fields for text either. It makes small text blurry, presumably because it’s downsampled. SDF only really helps magnification, which they don’t do much.

Almost every Google Maps shader has a discard in it. I don’t see why this is needed. Not that they’re getting much benefit from early Z anyway since they draw back to front :(

Early Z is hard because map designers tend to want to make everything slightly transparent.

That is really interesting though…quite a bummer :) Early Z has been the most important thing to preserve in Pathfinder…
