Today I’ve been noticing that the map display is a bit different. When zoomed out far enough observations have a rectangular or square block around them rather than just the point.
Is this a new grid system or something to reduce load on the server or observer’s computer?
Is this perhaps the map tiles view?

Perhaps this has gone live for everyone? Or are you seeing something else?
just went live:

Closing to re-direct discussion to the above linked topics.
