mapbox not showing roads at zoom level 8.*

I am using mapbox in an Android app. At a zoom level from 8.0 to 8.999.. it doesn't show roads on parts of the map. I does show borders though. Zoom levels < 8 and >= 9 seem OK.

Strangely enough this only affects a part of Germany. Not all tiles behave like this, as you can see on the second image

Has anybody had a similar experience? I do not think I have bad tiles in the cache, since I've seen identical behavior on a 2nd device.

Solution

  • I was using the standard style called "Streets", which seems to have a strange bug (and which might even be about to be fixed, see comment above).

    Anyway, I gave up on it, went to https://www.mapbox.com/studio/ and created my own style based on the Basic Template. It took some time, but it was very easy. My own style now looks almost as the "Streets" style, and it does not have the bug, so I can now move on.
