Known Issues
[iOS 11, iOS12] Zooming the map with pinch&spread gesture zooms the entire view.[Safari] link to google Streetview does not work for Safari. Chrome and Firefox are ok."Undo home zoom" is not 100% robust. Sometimes another place is still stored.Perspective changes that happen while Victoria’s panel is open do not update the URLs to be shared. => but the address bar gets updated- Chrome browser does not show the maps b/c WebGL is not enabled > display warning
no progress indicator for map loading- reduced map resolution (4096px) to support iOS and WebGL > tile server for maps would solve the issue
no tilt touch gestures for mobile devices [#3405][Firefox] Map switch not visible- Optimized WebApp not supportet at the moment due to year links, that exit the app and jump to Safari.
[IE11] Time Pendulum icon not visible
