Map "vignetting" in mobile app

Since a couple of weeks ago I get an annoying "vignetting" effect that blurs out the surroundings whenever I zoom out of an activity map in the mobile app. That makes it difficult to quickly assess the location of the route relative to the surrounding geography. It's also just plain annoying because it looks like a gratuitous feature that no one asked for.

Can that be rolled back or made optional?

Hi ​@MIrmscher,

you're not the only one unhappy about this change. There's a whole thread where people discuss the activity map/photo sharing - please add your feedback there, I really hope that Strava will listen to us:
