Drell Jun 2018 5:31pm, 5 Jun 2018 2,194 posts	0 Drell I'm having real trouble with the new map. In general I like the OSM mapping as it shows the paths, but there seem to be some glitches here. 1. As someone else pointed out, you can get stuck in the map on a phone, if the map fills the whole screen. Panning operates on the map, not the web page. (In google maps, you have to use 2 fingers to pan the map rather than the page). 2. If you click on a marker to see where its 80m radius extends to, or how many points it is, the little info window comes up OK, but it's then impossible to get rid of it except by clicking on another marker. Also, the little info window covers part of the 80m circle. 3. If you use the little buttons to deselect a marker type to de-clutter the map, it removes those markers from the current display, which is good. But then if you zoom or pan the map, they reappear, but the display of the buttons doesn't change, so the button display doesn't match what is actually being shown on the map.

Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Jun 2018 7:36pm, 5 Jun 2018 26,760 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) There seems to be a glitch, I am trying to reset my home point but it doesn’t seem to set, I am not seeing any bugs or markers.
fetcheveryone Jun 2018 7:47pm, 5 Jun 2018 19,429 posts	0 fetcheveryone Mrs J - tried moving mine, and it seemed to work ok. Can you try again?
Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Jun 2018 7:58pm, 5 Jun 2018 26,761 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) I just tried again, have had several attempts but still not working, Jigs managed to change his homepoint a couple of hours ago which is when I first tried, not sure what is going on.
Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Jun 2018 8:03pm, 5 Jun 2018 26,762 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Also I was trying to search for public routes in New York while I was away but the map stayed on my home town, still the same now, have I inadvertently done something to my settings?
