Use laptop or phone for maps?

Updated 30 November 2018

Minor updates to documentation. Updated section on compass calibration. Removed section on reliability problems with Microsoft Edge in Windows as following a server fix put in place a few weeks ago, nothing in server logs indicates the problem has reoccurred

With regard to future updates, the plan is to trial using a third party Openlayers extension library and compare results. If the results are satisfactory then conversion will be made to use these extensions. The most immediate advantage of this is lots of extra functionality can be added in very quickly, such as allowing a GPS track to be shown and saving the track as a file.

ZGUS has updated online map service Coober Pedy Proclaimed Precious Stones Field with Native Title Map from maps.zgus.com/cp

There is a fix for transparent layers in Microsoft Edge when using with a laptop or notebook.

In the documentation there are some additional notes in documentation on using a laptop, including how to get a GNSS (GPS etc) location sensor for use with Microsoft Edge in Windows 10.

There are also notes on which browsers have been tested.

As before, in addition to additional layers for Coober Pedy area, a choice of basemaps can be used around Australia if Internet access is available. If Internet is not available or has a too weak signal, a portable map server can be used instead.
