Hi Enoch, I am seeing this too, although it's actually also helped solve a bug we were having. My company does a lot of web-based mobile apps for BB/ Android/iOS and I started noticing that the high-resolution markers we were using started going all fuzzy on the iPhone 4 simulator and on the phone itself. This probably happens in the Nexus S too since it has a fairly high resolution, though I was one of the unfortunate few to get the bad ICS over the air update in December before it was pulled, and I'm still waiting on an update to make the phone usable for testing again.
While the fuzziness is a bug, it solved an issue we had that happened when there was a lot of markers on a map -- say, over 75 or so. If the device's specs were not top of the line, when scrolling the map the markers would stutter and randomly appear and disappear for a couple seconds after the user is done scrolling over a map area. This happens on a lot of the devices, except the iPhone 4S which seems to be able to handle it no problem. This issue went away when the markers went all fuzzy and low-res though. So, I'm wondering.. when you figure out what caused this bug, can you include it as a new feature somehow? :) It'd be great for our apps if we could just have a flag for high-res yes/no that we set based on the number of markers on a map and the specs of the device. Anyhow, here's a couple examples. This one's a live app, has the issue as our live apps don't specify an API version, so it uses the latest v3: http://weeverapp.com/app/downtowndundas.myweeverapp.com and here's a copy of that same app on a development server, instead flagged for Google Maps API v=3.6 http://cephalopod.weeverapp.com/app/myweeverapp.com/downtowndundas Click on the "map" tab when its loaded (second one has no loadscreen, just black and takes a couple seconds) You'll need to load it on a high-res device to see the difference - iPhone 4 simulator should work too. What's also odd is if you do a "bounce" animation to a marker, it goes back to high res until the animation is ended. Hope this helps in finding the issue!
