Improve the world map

The lack of detail on the world map is hard to understand. I can understand that the amount of detail should be lower when zoomed out, but even then you should be able to make out country borders and major cities, even on the “satellite” image - why is that so blurred? You can’t make out large geographical features, let alone rivers and cities. The map used by the Manual cache is much higher res.

Once you start zooming in, detail is still absent by default. The map does not save your settings for the filters, so airspaces for example are missing every time - these should be important if this is a flight simulation To get any detail about most nav-aids and airports, the map must be zoomed in to 1nm scale. To get a hint of the runway direction, even closer zoom is required. Asobo should take a look at evey other VFR map out there - the aforementioned LittleNavmap is a good example of a detailed map, but probably a bit too complex for FS2020 to emulate, but to not at least try something with the detail of the most basic SkyVector maps (like for the UK) is a bit inept. After all the whole sales blurb wants you to fly the world.
