It works... kind of... It does improve the map view of Google Maps enough that it is usable... but it makes the satellite view UNUSABLE. The developer claims that it only affects map view, and that you can toggle it on/off... but these are LIES. The developer has known for years that these features don't work, and has never bothered to fix them.
toggle is not working in chrome, not working at all in opera. Pictures and sat view gets way to dark. There a so many comments that it is not working, maybe do something. If it works it is great.
Simply doesn't work.... you should get your T shirt, long haired software geeks to put down their coffee and fix it...
Did not work. Right-clicking satellite did nothing. Refresh didn't work either.
Doesn't work.
I really like it but it could use an update. The toggle doesn't work but it's easy enough to work around if I keep Extension Manager open on another tab. Is there anything similar for IOS app?
No longer works? I would love to have this working but it doesn't appear to do so.
Isn't high contrast enough and doesn't print well, you also can't simply "toggle" you have to refresh the page.
Does not seem to work in Linux, either in Chromium or in Opera (which has the ability to run Chrome addons). I tried the 'right-click' toggle and also 'Control-click' and 'Alt-click'.
Behaves well with a map but the satellite image now looks like a photo taken at night. Doesn't make a scrap of difference in My Maps where I usually work so unfortunately it's not very useful to me.
Didn't seem to make much difference to me, text is bolder but minor roads are still difficult to see.
Does not work at this time.
The toggle does not work. To turn off you need to switch off extension, then refresh any open map to get it to restore. When on it makes map view better contrast - good for screen shots. But it also makes sat view way way too dark. To see effect open map first before turning on the extension. Please improve this app. It needs the toggle to work on the extension icon rather than the map/sat view icon.
I can't get it to work
It's not working. I followed "toggle" instruction and there's no difference.
This tool is dope (superb). The contrast is nicely raised and the color palette is well-selected. It simply and elegantly does what it promises. Highly recommended.
I've really enjoyed this; makes a huge difference!
