Sadly very very true Lowdown!
I must admit however that I like the choice of colours one now has in VTCs.
For those who like the traditional look we have the blue ocean, red R & D areas, brown Class E, yellow built up areas, white base background and barely readable frequencies. For those who are more adventurous you can choose the option of the purple ocean, purple R & D areas, Purple/brown Class E, baby sh!t orange built up areas, grey background and unreadable frequencies (just to name a few).
I now see where the savings in NAS are. Quality Control!
What a disgrace!!!
