I can confirm in the UK that exactly the same issue has surfaced with the V27 update. I have lost the minor towns and villages that used to display (same as major city suburbs) - now just get the nearest major city which is a complete pain in the rear.

I think I am going to revert back to V26 3D toggle - unless anyone can say what other changes have been made in V27 that would mean keeping it is a must.

I HATE any kind of functionality downgrade - wonder who's brainwave this one was?

Can anyone else in the UK that has upgraded confirm this to be the case with their systems?
