For starters: vector map (https://map.blitzortung.org/) is awesome.
But at least for me it lacks one quite important feature. While it's possible to choose the map style it doesn't seem to work for me. It doesn't matter if the "Save settings in the cookie" is ticked or not, it goes back to the defaults within couple days. I think it would be nice to have it as a another one URL parameter, besides currently used (zoom level and location, I guess).
BTW: I've just found out another map service (https://www.lightningmaps.org/) which seems to partially do the job, but the first one fits me better.

Hello Sparkee,

which settings are not saved permanently?

/Egon

Map style that one can choose from four modes (using the popup in the upper right corner).
My experience shows that it quite often goes back to default, also it is somewhat cumbercome to switch it back to desired mode. Couple times I selected the mode and ticked the save in cookies checkbox and after refresh it all went to defaults. BTW: is the order of doing this significant? - choosing mode and THEN ticking save or the other way round.
I don't change any of the other settings, so it might be problem with this particular setting or with everything that is stored in the cookie.
Once the changed setting is finally correctly saved, it is working for some time.
