I'm creating a GMSMarker by making a UIImage and then drawing some text on it:
[(NSString*)text drawInRect:CGRectMake(scale*68, scale*4, scale*181, scale*49) withFont:[UIFont fontWithName:@"HelveticaNeue-Bold" size:12] lineBreakMode:UILineBreakModeTailTruncation alignment:UITextAlignmentLeft];
and adding it to my Google Maps map. Everything looks great, except... the marker is blurry! Specifically, the text on the marker (which should be sharp since I am not scaling the image in any way). I'm using the latest GMS framework (04/2013).
I feel like this is a problem because when I do essentially the same thing using MapKit (Apple Map), the marker text is sharp. Is anyone else seeing less-than-crisp marker icons?
It's almost as if Google is slightly downsampling or converting the image before overlaying it on the map...
