Hi guys,

For me, the option to choose “floating” when displaying an item on a map is not working… does it work for you ?

I’ll have to check later when I get to my computer. I wonder if it works differently with different screen sizes.

Yeah, it’s definitely based on screen width and makes complete sense to me. On a small screen, such as a mobile, there just isn’t enough room to float the item details next to a pin, so it defaults to the bottom. Whereas on a larger screen, there is a lot more room to float the item details next to the pin.

Yeah, if you use floating on a small screen, there’s a chance it blocks everything else and it’s not a good experience.
