Mapshare - planned route not showing on mobile, but it does show on desktop

Hi - I'm noticing that if I load a planned route into Mapshare, it's not visible when the mapshare is viewed from a mobile device. It displays fine when viewed from the desktop. I've seen posts in these forums about this is from 3-4 years ago with no resolution back then and it's seemingly still an issue. Have others experienced this? How have you dealt with it? Being able to see the planned route from a mobile device is important in scenarios where someone may be following you around a course during a race - for example crew for a 100 mile run, etc. Thoughts?

Feature is still there. Tap the circle-i icon in the lower right corner. The very last option is View Desktop Version. My recollection is that this choice is sticky (via a cookie). It is difficult to revert…

I don't know if it's still possible. At one time, there was a way to request the desktop version on a mobile device. It's almost useless on a phone, but is at least marginally usable on a tablet.

You can still request the desktop version on a mobile device (click is 'i' circle on the mobile version and select "View Desktop Version"). But to your point, the desktop view on a mobile phone is basically unusable.

It is difficult to revert to the mobile version without clearing cookies. You might want to do this in an incognito (private) window.
