Check that out, the marker is blurry when the size is smaller than the default normal. A couple of other questions were asked on here for fixing blurry custom markers and the solution was adding scale:2 to the URL, however, that does not change anything on the map example above. This is all only when the scale of the map is also set to 2.

Is there a way to make it not so blurry? I'm not using a custom marker, just the default marker that Google provides, so I don't understand why they don't scale with the map very well.

  • I have the same problem. Custom markers can only be 64 x 64 pixels and when using scale=2 these markers are blown up to 128 x 128 pixels resulting in a 'blurry' or a pixelated marker. – bart Jul 21 '15 at 19:46

    @bart my markers are not custom. They're the default google markers. I don't understand why they can't keep them clean looking with the also built in scale feature that changes the resolution. – Christine268 Jul 23 '15 at 12:34
  • I see. It requires very little effort to use a custom marker. Go find a marker on Google Images and pop in the URL. – bart Jul 23 '15 at 17:35
