M, on iPad it’s always like that for me, and I can’t change it, at least don’t know how. ![изображение](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/b/bd6758eb11b000dd8eadba5ba1751878f1fb2fe0.jpeg) ---

Yes, the problem can be worked around by setting the Chrome font to medium. I was aware of that when I reported this bug. This is not a problem with Chrome. The issue occurs the same way if you increase your default font size in Firefox as well. Firefox does not have a “recommended” font size. Haven’t checked other browsers. There are plenty of reasons why some of us may wish to select a larger default font size for general web browsing. Is it really good web design to require users select a different default font for all web sites in order to make one particular site (this one) work properly? I looked at the link you posted and see that setting the font to “medium” was considered a solution and the case “closed.” This is not good web design. A much better solution would be to allow the map popover to be closed or moved. ---

Strong yes. This is an accessibility issue for people with vision problems, dyslexia, and probably a host of other medical conditions. ---

Exactly. Close to good enough isn’t good enough. ---

Then you can make it a Feature Request for accessibility. ---

Added this to my weekly report to developers. For what it’s worth, this is one of the oldest pages on the site. ---

OK, we made some changes to this page - basically, it’s now responsive to text and window size. If the text size is increased, the map won’t cover the text. If the text size and/or window size don’t allow for the map to be displayed on the right, the map will move to the bottom of the page. Here’s what it looks like with a font size of 24 in Firefox (with a 20% browser zoom as well, which is what I use by default for iNat): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/c/ceaf3f9b58e949e1a93c642d7616adc18287b854.jpeg) And if I keep making the window more narrow…(the map has now been moved to the bottom) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/2X/4/4d9c9eb44384efdaf3f512c4871bee4967d3b998.png) ---

Thank you very much! Tested in Chrome and it works great. ---
