Which devices work with your maps?

Your maps run in a web browser, with no app to install. The 2D Map works on nearly anything. The 3D views lean on the graphics chip, so they depend more on your device.

On a phone, the 3D Mesh and a large single-file point cloud don't render (a streamed, tiled cloud does). The project's own team gets a download link instead.

What you need

• A current browser: Safari, Chrome, Edge or Firefox.
• For 3D on a phone or tablet: a device from about the last four years, with at least 4 GB of memory. It needs iOS 17 or newer, or Android 12 or newer. We've tested iOS 26 and Android 13–17.
• A good connection for the first look at a large property.

What we've tested on

Measured on the streaming 3D Model tab, on a 40-acre ranch with two dozen points of interest and the demo project.

• iPad Pro 12.9 (M2, iPadOS 26): the best handheld experience.
• iPhone 15 (iOS 26): smooth, about 45–59 frames per second on the demo property. It dips close to the ground beside dense points of interest.
• Pixel 8 Pro (Android 17, Chrome): smooth, about 54 frames per second on the ranch. It can stutter briefly close to the ground.
• Pixel 6 (Android 17): works well, a step behind the Pixel 8 Pro.
• Pixel 4 XL (2019, 6 GB, Android 13): works, with stutter (roughly 16–20 frames per second) while tiles stream in. Fine for looking around, not a long session.
• Macs with Apple silicon (M1 Pro and up), in Chrome and Safari: smooth at full quality.

Not a fit for the 3D views

• 3 GB iPhones on iOS 16 or older: the iPhone X, XS and 8. Our iPhone X closed the 3D view within seconds; it lacks the memory.
• Androids with under 4 GB of memory, or on Android 11 or older.

Windows laptops

We've measured one high-end gaming laptop (Core Ultra 9, RTX 5080, 64 GB) in Chrome:

• On its NVIDIA chip: smooth at full quality, about 56 frames per second on the demo property and 30 on the ranch.
• On its integrated Intel chip, the Windows default: about 50 frames per second on the demo and 30 on the ranch, with more stutter.

To put the browser on the faster chip: Settings → System → Display → Graphics, add Chrome or Edge, choose High performance, restart the browser.

A lighter, integrated-only laptop isn't measured yet; a recent one is expected to work.

If it feels slow

• Let the first load finish before you fly.
• Close other tabs. They compete for the same memory.
• On a slower phone, turn the surroundings off: Viewer settings → Horizon → Surroundings → Off. They're context, not your scan.
• Keep the phone cool. A hot phone slows itself down.
• Switch to the 2D Map.

If a device struggles, tell us which one and what you saw.
