Hello,
aprs.fi map view  on a windows PC web-browser shows 8 tool icons, including "filter" for selecting station type.  In comparison, on an Android web-brower, only 4 tool icons appear (favorites, share, center, default view), with filter icon conspicuously absent.  Is there someway to filter on an Android browser display of apri.fi map?  (Note: tried several different Android browser, with same result...i.e. only 4 tool icons)

Thanks!aprs.fi mapview showing only for tool icons, no filter.png

Hi,

The mobile view for small displays is quite limited, the filter control is
unfortunately not implemented for it yet. If I added the button, the
filter control itself would not fit on the displays and behave correctly.

On Android tablets it goes to desktop mode and the filter control is
available.

Thanks for your reply.  Your suggestion of trying desktop site on Android Tablets showed me that my Android phone also has the capability to see desktop site.  With the small screen, it takes some zooming and panning and  stylus usage, but it works pretty well!Screenshot_2021-05-11-23-12-07.png

Hessu,
Thanks for your reply.  Since you alerted me to Desktop mode on Android Tablets, I looked for it also on my Android phone and found it can also display in desktop mode (Firefox browser).  Yes, its small, but with some zooming and panning (and a stylus) it's pretty good!Screenshot_2021-05-11-23-12-07.png
