### Devices
### Input Devices
This table details iD's support for specific classes of input devices.
"Full support" for a device means that iD reasonably handles its entire range of input on supported platforms. But unlike the "Setups" table above, a given device is not necessarily expected to perform all of iD's functions.

It's impractical to ensure every single input device works as expected, so the table only reflects the support status to the best of our knowledge.

## 📟 System Compatibility
iD's hardware and software support mostly depends on the web browser and input devices. For instance, if a computer running Firefox is setup with a mouse and keyboard, it doesn't really matter to iD if the computer is a desktop Mac, laptop PC, Android tablet, or so on. But certain other aspects of the system can still affect iD's usability and functionality.
| | Displays | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ | Large display | The map expands to fill the entire browser window |
| 🟠 | Small display | iD is not optimized for smartphone-sized screens or smaller, but some editing is usually possible |
| ✅ | High [pixel density](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_density) display | iD's vector graphics scale well to high-resolution screens (e.g. [Retina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retina_display)) |
| 🟠 | Low pixel density display | Some icons are not legible on low-res displays |
| ✅ | Multiple displays | iD responds accordingly when its browser window is moved between different types of external screens |
| | Internet | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 🟠 | Slow connection | iD downloads a lot of data all throughout use, so slow connections can significantly slow down mapping |
| ✅ | Intermittent connection | Downloaded data can be edited during temporary connection losses. A banner message is displayed. Reconnection is attempted automatically and a "Retry" button is also provided |
| ❌ | Offline connection | iD isn't built for full offline use out of the box |
| ✅ | Mobile phone connection | A suitably fast, reliable phone network can be used for mapping, with the risk of iD gobbling up data allowances |
