Oops, yet another stupid little bug in the new map navigation code.
Switching the map type caused an update of the URL to contain the new
map type, which in turn made the browser promptly navigate out from
the embedded map. Fixed, sorry about that.

I'm using Win7 & Firefox and If I have a tab open to aprsfi, then close
Firefox and reopen it, the map goes to Helsinki.

For one reason or another, your default view is set to Helsinki. Maybe
aprs.fi doesn't have any better idea of your real location or what you
would like to see first. You can set the initial default view in the
Preferences.

Have you set New Mexico as your opening page?

Tonight, when I entered my call, wa6rkn-7 and 12 hours, the map show a
number of different aprs stations. It has never done that before.

Oops, the "Show all" setting kept at 1 after a callsign lookup from the
real-time view with everyone visible. After all, it was showing everyone
before the lookup, and sort of maintaining the current setting.

It now goes to 0 after a successful callsign lookup.

Hello,

I have the same problem, open the map on Helsinki, but only with IE, with Firefox it's wok fine, i have tested with other PC it's same thing.

I use this link's :
http://aprs.fi/#%21mt=roadmap&z=11&call=a%2FF6KPQ&timerange=3600
or
http://aprs.fi/#!call=a%2FF6KPQ&timerange=3600

XP pro SP3, Firefox 12.0, IE 8.0.6001.180702

Again, the same question to Michel:

Have you used the "Save current view as default view" to set your default
view in IE? If the default view is not saved, it will often go with a
default view of Helsinki.

http://wiki.ham.fi/Aprs.fi_Real-time_map#Selecting_an_initial_default_view

If you're not logged in, the saved default view is stored in the browser's
cookies. Each browser has it's own cookie jar, so if you save in Firefox,
IE's cookies will not contain your saved preferences.

If you're logged in using an user account on aprs.fi, the settings go with
the user account, in which case you need to login from both browsers to
get the same settings.

I make a test, i save the default view in iexplorer and it's the same thing. In fact i have add a link to aprs.fi for a clubstation : http://f6kpq.org/ , i don't know for each visitor who web browser and config who's used.

That looks like an IE specific oddity, %21 should/could be processed as a
! (the correct URL would be http://aprs.fi/#!call= ... instead of
aprs.fi/#%21call=). I can probably work around that, I'll look into it at
home when I have access to an IE.
