VRM installation map - Globallink 520 - map won't center in full screen mode / add terrain mode ?

When using the PC browser with it's VRM "All installation" dashboard and press the full screen map button and go full screen, every time you hover a site in the map with your mouse cursor, the sites jumps to the top part of the screen and "adjust" the map to center as it was still in window mode / dashboard with map on the very top part.

It won't center the site to the center of the full screen page...

Very annoying as you always have to drag the map down, again and again...!!

Screenshot below is hovering the site with the red arrow...

....

And can we add the possibility of "terrain" mode of the map?

The terrain map is much better for static sites with more details etc.

Any update from Victron? @Lasse or @Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager)

This should be an easy fix to an annoying problem.

It works fine for me on a MacBook with Safari, showing the geographic center of all installations. At most a small problem with the touch pad, which is a bit notchy.

Thanks @Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager) , I see they removed the centering function. Much better now :)


Any chance to add a toggle switch that adds /data=!5m1!1e4 in the map URL ??

This additional string will switch on the terrain mode for the map and gives a much better visual perception. It's generic and not browser related.


You can easily compare yourself:

Terrain mode on:
