For the best user experience, we recommend using the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge browsers, as they maintain high compatibility in various aspects.
If your platform was working fine before, we suggest trying to clear your browser's history or perform a refresh (Windows: Shift+F5 or Ctrl+Shift+R, Mac: ⌘ + Shift + R). Typically, this should restore normal functionality. Additionally, the current design of the map platform utilizes the latest web technologies, so it's recommended to use the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, or Microsoft Edge for the best performance.
