Maps that show time instead of space

Does this not work on mobile?

If it does, can someone explain how to use it? No matter what I do, the map just warps a bit, and nothing else happens.

This is what it is supposed to do. The coordinates in map from one location to another change from distance to how much time it would take to reach there.

You cannot pan on iOS.

I don't think it is supposed to pan. It doesn't for me on desktop.

Sorry, that must be a bug. On desktop the map is large enough to be visible in its entirety but it is supposed to pan on mobile... I'll try to fix that

IMO, I expected that I could click various places and the map would react to the specific point I clicked.

Instead, it seems to essentially just be an animation between two pre-determined images.

After some experimentation- opening the hamburger menu and turning on "focus on hover" behaves this way.

And then panning kind of works? I feel like there's either a bug or it isn't meant for mobile
