• Search and zone data require active connection

Troubleshooting Mobile Issues

Map won't load

• Check your internet connection
• Refresh the page
• Clear browser cache

Touch not responding

• Make sure you're tapping directly on zones
• Try zooming in for smaller zones
• Check that JavaScript is enabled

Slow performance

• Close other browser tabs
• Restart your browser

Admin Panel on Mobile

The admin panel is also mobile-friendly, though we recommend using a desktop or tablet for:

• Creating new zones (drawing is easier with a mouse)
• Bulk editing operations
• Detailed data review

Basic tasks like viewing zones, checking audit logs, and managing drivers work well on mobile.
