Basic question

Hi,

My name is Joel Shannon; I have a very basic question about using MapBox. I’m trying to create a very basic map that lists local farm markets for use in a non-for-profit project. I don’t have an extensive coding background, but I know fundamentals of web design. So far, I’ve been able to follow the tutorials on the site fairly easily and get a result that I can use.

However, I have run into a small problem when viewing the maps hosted on MapBox’s servers on my mobile devices. The biggest problem I’ve encountered is that links that I have put in the “full” description of place markers don’t work on my iPhone or iPad. They work just fine on my laptop, but double tap on my mobile devices simply causes the map to zoom.

Is there anything I could do about this? I’ve been working on using MapBox over Google’s less code-heavy custom maps feature for the great customization potential, but if I can’t create links that are usable on a mobile platform, I might not be able to stick with using MapBox.

Thanks for your help on what I’m sure is a very elementary question.

    For reference, here is the map I am working with. I’ve tried to avoid populating it with data or working on aesthetics until I can resolve this issue.

    Hey Joel,

    I've found the problem and have filed a ticket to fix it in the system. I should be able to look at it today.
