Performance If you are using GeoMaps late at night, please be aware that the performance may be slower than expected. This is due to nightly data updates running across the system. This applies to both desktop and tablets.
Printing In some instances, printing may take a few minutes to complete This applies to both desktop and tablets.
Printing The legend will not print when exporting to a jpg. Jpg files do not support multiple page output. Use the pdf option if you need the legend printed. This applies to both desktop and tablets.
Predictive search For some addresses, the search function may return multiples of the same address in the drop down text. Each record will zoom to the same place. The user should pick one from the list and carry on as expected. This applies to both desktop and tablets.

Usability On some tablets, a small portion of the bottom of the display is cut off. If this occurs, swipe up to see the bottom of the display which will include results counts, the coordinates and the map scale. This applies to tablets only.
Usability Intermittent failure to load default when in Android/Chrome.
This issue of the failure to load the viewer in Chrome on an Android tablet is persistent. The viewer will appear to be loading for 5-15 seconds, and then the application name appears on the tab. Unfortunately, at this point the form stops with only a white background, with no elements of GeoMaps loaded.
Use the default Android browser instead. This issue is intermittent, so Chrome will work greater than 50% of the time.
This applies to Android tablets only.
Workspaces Updating and renaming a workspace causes the chosen layers to be switched off in the legend. If you need to edit an existing workspace, the workaround is to save a new one. This applies to both desktop and tablets.
Transparency It is not possible to set layer transparency for tablets This applies to tablets only
Workspaces It is not possible to share workspaces. Attempting to share will result in an undefined workspace This applies to both desktop and tablets.
