Hi, in MapKit JS the hybrid view appears to have lost the street names overlay in the last few days. Does anyone know if this is an issue/error or a changed feature? Thanks.
Street Names in Hybrid View
Are you able to provide a small test code snippet that reproduces what you're seeing? A test project here should be stripped down to the basic HTML, CSS, and Javascript needed. And outside of a test project, do you continue to see this with your normal code, in case there was a transient issue?

Hi, yes, thanks for the reply. Just any simple map, example is below. In hybrid view until a few days ago (I believe) you would get the road names overlaid on the map (along the roads), they now don't appear. They should appear according to the documentation "mapkit.Map.MapTypes.Hybrid - A satellite image of the area with road and road name layers on top." https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/map/maptypes/hybrid

Thanks for coming up with that example! I reproduced this as well using your example, and I also see the same results using the Maps app for those coordinates at that zoom level, so this isn't limited to MapKit JS here. It'd be helpful if you could open a bug report and include screenshots of what you're seeing with the above code sample. From there, our Maps folks will need to take a look.
Once you create that report, please post the FB number here for reference.

Thanks for guidance, much appreciated.
I have submitted as you instructed the FB number is: -

(I also opened a "contact us" case, before this, which is probably now superfluous, the case ID for that is 102432820082)
