Hi, just got round to upgrading my "live" HA system so this is the first time that the map overview has been useful.

I note that the background is a little too transparent which makes it hard to read:

It might be better to reduce that a little?

Yes, or maybe add another tint to the whole area to make them stand out more.

For the uninitiated could you tell us what we are looking at there please? It is not an image I recognise.
