Compatibility
NatureAtlas 3.0 (5 Jan 2021) works with all browser versions dated 2020 or later, but stay away from older browsers - especially, Internet Explorer. Apple Safari will work fine, but the autosuggest list functions in the search pane do not populate because Safari does not implement the datalist function of HTML5.
