FAQ

• Q What are the system requirements?
  A This website requires a modern browser to work (such as Firefox or Safari). A high speed connection and fast computer are not required, but make the user experience more delightful. Internet Explorer 7 is required because previous versions don't support transparent PNGs. Safari doesn't support changing the transportation type while a path is on the map, but the Safari nightlies work.
