I have to admit, the maps (at any zoom levels) are quite beautiful. Much much better than the likes of Apple or Google!

This is a modernized version of a base map (used to overlay topical maps over it) that they have been working on for the past few years. Available as vector tile. It's very clean and crisp, and IMHO much more readable than e.g. the Google Maps style, or OSM.

Highly customizable 3D map viewer (under development). Performance is a bit choppy, and navigation feels somewhat clunky. But you can overlay any of the hundreds of topical maps (pick from geocatalog menu, or search via search bar).

Maybe b/c it's what I grew up with, but I've always found AAA maps (do they still print them?) had the best colors and contrast. I've never found any other map app that looks anywhere nearly as good
The style in the same as all pre-Internet paper maps I've seen, but with much higher fidelity. So it looks nice to me, but it's not the most readable, mostly the names do not stand out in the dark green background.
