| Environmental Monitoring Tool | The Hydrotel Environmental Monitoring tool is temporarily disabled pending the finalising of functionality. | This applies temporarily to both desktop and tablets. |
| Extract tool | Each export job goes into a queue, and is processed in sequence. For this reason, the email with the extracted data may be delayed. Other reasons for a delay could be the size of the area requested, and how many layers the user wishes to download. | This applies to both desktop and tablets. |
| Legend | Unable to move the order of layers in the legend. | This applies to tablets only. |
| Link to Geotechnical reports | Geotechnical reports will remain in the legacy Rodney viewer for the time being. Will be delivered after go-live. | Available in desktop; not in tablets. |
| Locate | It is not possible to copy coordinates on tablet devices. | This applies to tablets only. |
| Locate | In some instances, it is difficult to select items from the drop down menus of tablets. Try typing and then tapping on the predictive text that appears. | This applies to tablets only. |
| Performance | If you are using GeoMaps late at night, please be aware that the performance may be slower than expected. This is due to nightly data updates running across the system. | This applies to both desktop and tablets. |
| Printing | In some instances, printing may take a few minutes to complete. | This applies to both desktop and tablets. |
| Printing | The legend will not print when exporting to a JPG. JPG files do not support multiple page output. Use the PDF option if you need the legend printed. | This applies to both desktop and tablets. |
| Predictive search | For some addresses, the search function may return multiples of the same address in the drop down text. Each record will zoom to the same place. The user should pick one from the list and carry on as expected. | This applies to both desktop and tablets. |
| Results panel/Legend | Cannot be resized or expanded. | This applies to tablets only. |
| Timeslider | The Timeslider is not available at this stage. Please load the Aerials Theme with the Theme switcher tool, and then use the legend to turn on/off and compare the various years of aerial imagery. | This applies temporarily to desktop. The Timeslider is not available on tablets. |

| Usability | Intermittent failure to load default when in Android/Chrome. This issue of the failure to load the viewer in Chrome on an Android tablet is persistent. The viewer will appear to be loading for 5-15 seconds, and then the application name appears on the tab. Unfortunately, at this point the form stops with only a white background, with no elements of GeoMaps loaded. Use the default Android browser instead. This issue is intermittent, so Chrome will work greater than 50% of the time. | This applies to Android tablets only. |
| Workspaces | Updating and renaming a workspace causes the chosen layers to be switched off in the legend. If you need to edit an existing workspace, the workaround is to save a new one. | This applies to both desktop and tablets. |
| Workspaces | It is not possible to share workspaces. Attempting to share will result in an undefined workspace. | This applies to both desktop and tablets. |
