Location — zoom to position (desktop)
Next to the Location switch on the desktop top bar, a new Zoom to location checkbox controls whether the map moves to your GPS position when a fix is available.
- When Location is on, the blue position marker and status coordinates behave as before.
- With Zoom to location checked, the map eases to your position at zoom level 16 (not only a pan at the current zoom).
- This happens when a fix arrives after you turn location on, or when you check the box while location is already active.
- Your choice is remembered in the browser (
localStorage) for future sessions. - Saved
.geovprojects can store the setting undersettings.json→ui.locationZoomTo(withui.locationEnabled).
Field mode on phones does not show this control.
Location on phones (field mode)
- The Location switch is back in More.
- New Locate me via website in More: opens gis.com.my/mgs/locate/location.html, which gets your position with the usual Firefox prompt and hands it to the add-on. Works around Firefox for Android not allowing location for add-on pages (Mozilla bug 1336194).
- It gives a single position. Tap it again to refresh. The position never leaves the phone.
- Desktop location is unchanged.
