1001491 - mapquest.com: getting directions doesn't work well

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Web Compatibility :: Site Reports, defect)

Description

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

On mapquest.com, looking up directions doesn't work very well in Firefox for Android. It seems to do lots of processing without showing anything, and the "back" feature for returning to a normal map view from the directions search screen doesn't seem to work either.

To be analyzed..

Step to reproduce

0. Access http://mapquest.com/ (we are redirect to http://m.mapquest.com/)
1. Share your location
2. Name a destination
3. Select "Go"

The route is displayed as a list.
Selecting "Map" in the top menu doesn't bring back the map.

in mqm-site.js:
The event for the menu Map seems to be referring to:
<div class="poiSecondary">'+
((__t=( address.singleLineAddress ))==null?'':__t)+
'</div>


Also in mqa.toolkit.js: (possible optimization)
The UA detection is quite strange. They have two arrays with for loops to match the UA string. It means they go through all the loops when it's not really necessary once you got a match. Once the matches have been done: Firefox Android 30 is detected with:

name: 'firefox'
os: 'android'
version: '30.'
