    Has anyone managed to look yet as my missions are being conflicted by creating it on of the web browser

    I believe it is a viewport sizing thing. Chrome has an extra rows of tabs at the top. If you size the windows so they are the same they look identical on the map:

    I disagree with your findings the maps are different on chrome and safari and conflicting the the target location, when I map out on one it becomes off target on the other, even completing the mission, it’s not visable to just use one web browser I’d like to use both. Can you have a look and se if this happens to you?

    In the end the base layer is controlled by Mapbox and it is the same code regardless of the browser. Mapbox isn't perfect, and if they have a bug, or even if the base layer is just misaligned to reality (which is quite possible), there is nothing we can do about it, which is part of the reason we created the geo-rectification feature:

    If you need maximum accuracy, you need to geo-rectify and use a drone with RTK.
