User Guide › Sharing, replay & the app
Sharing, replay & the app
Sharing
Choose Share this view in the menu, or the share icon on an object's details card on a computer. On phones and tablets this opens your device's share sheet; elsewhere the link is copied and a Link copied message appears.
What a link keeps
The page's address updates as you use the map, so a refresh or a bookmark brings you straight back. A shared link opens the same:
- Position and zoom of the map.
- Selected object.
- Search, including a "What's nearby" pin and radius, whether Show on the map is on, and any picked results.
- Layers that are switched on.
- Object-list filters, if Include Filters In URLs is on in Settings.
Replay
Choose Replay in the menu to play back past traffic. A panel opens along the bottom of the screen, with the bottom bar moving above it:
- Choose the date, hour and minute to start from.
- Press play and set the speed.
- Close the panel with its own × to return to live traffic.
Install as an app
mlat.uk can be installed so it opens full screen from your home screen, like an app:
- iPhone and iPad - in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
- Android - in Chrome, tap the menu, then Install app or Add to Home screen.
- Computer - in Chrome or Edge, use the install icon in the address bar.
The map may also offer an Install prompt itself; Not now hides it.
