The same Mapvera map reshapes itself to suit the screen you're on. Nothing is missing on a phone — the pieces are just arranged for a smaller, touch-first display. Here's what changes.
Phone versus computer at a glance
| On a phone | On a computer | |
|---|---|---|
| The list of places | A sheet that slides up from the bottom | A panel beside the map |
| Zooming | Pinch, or the + / − buttons | Scroll wheel, or the + / − buttons |
| Panning | Drag with one finger | Click and drag |
| Hovering a marker | Not applicable — you tap instead | A little name tooltip can appear under the pointer |
Touch versus mouse
On a touchscreen you tap to open a place and pinch to zoom. On a computer you click and can hover the pointer over a marker to peek at its name (if the map has hover tooltips switched on). The scroll wheel zooms on a computer; on some maps that's turned off so the page keeps scrolling normally.
Why the phone view fills the screen
On a phone the map is set to fill its container so there's never wasted empty space around it, and it may open a touch more zoomed out so more of the map is in view at once. This is deliberate — it makes the most of a narrow screen.
Turn your phone sideways
For wide maps, rotating your phone to landscape gives you a much broader view — pair it with fullscreen for the biggest picture a phone can manage.
