map.army Compatibility — Browser & OS Requirements

The page lists the minimum requirments and browser compatibility for the modern web application.

What this page is, and is not

The versions below are the platforms map.army is supported on — the combinations gs-soft tests and stands behind. They are a support statement, not something the application enforces: map.army does not check your browser against a list and refuse to start, so an untested browser will usually load and may simply misbehave in ways nobody has characterised.

There are, however, a handful of specific cases the app does detect and act on:

CaseWhat happens
Opening a link inside Facebook’s in-app browserRefused, with a message telling you to open the address in a real browser
Some Xiaomi devicesWarned before a download, because the built-in download manager can corrupt the file
iOS and iPadOSThe 3D view is unavailable; the button explains why
iOS with Safari 12 or olderSaving and loading MilX files locally is blocked; use a share link, or a desktop browser
Internet Explorer, or Edge before 79The in-app tutorials do not run
Browsers other than Chromium-based onesThe working-directory picker is simply absent, with no message
Hint: If something behaves oddly on a browser not listed below, try a supported one before reporting it — and do report it, because an unlisted browser misbehaving is how this page gets better.
