It is right before 4th of July weekend. Everyone in the US that owns a fishing rod is going fishing this weekend. I am not a bit surprised if there are times of slowness this week as this is historically the busiest week of the year.
Also, some areas have over 30,000 spots in a 100 mile radius. If you are trying to load one of these areas that are high debisity areas, and zoomed way out, it takes a lot of time to load tens or hundreds of thousands of spots on the map. I guess we could decrease the number of visible spots, but that would defeat the purpose of the map. We are open to any suggestions on how to quickly load 1.2 million fishing spots worldwide.
