Road 2 Riches question

Didn't find any other forum to post so I'm asking here. in the Road 2 Riches section of the https://www.spansh.co.uk/ website, there are some parameters on the left where the tooltips don't work for me in Chrome. Namely "Range", "Radius" and "Maximum Systems". Now, "Range" I know what it means, and I'm pretty sure what "Radius" means (how much in LY do you want to deviate from your route to your destination to scan systems) but "Maximum Systems" is puzzling me. Anyone care to explain?

Just the maximum amount of systems returned for your query (sans start/end system). If you do e.g. a round-trip from/to Sol and specify 10 there, you'll get 12 systems in the list. Since there can be less systems on your route depending on your parameters, it is an upper boundary, hence "maximum". The tool-tips suspiciously only won't work for the upper 3 labels (also on Mozilla), other labels show them, so it might be worth submitting a bug report.

After tusssling with firefox's inspector window these are what the tooltips should show as best I can tell:

Range (LY):
The range of your ship.

Radius (LY):
This is the distance in LY around which the plotter will look for valuable worlds for you to visit. A value of 25 LY tends to give a nice balance for A to B routes keeping the number of jumps reasonbly low whilst still giving a nice payout. For circular routes (leaving destination blank) you will probably want to increase this to 100-500 LY.

Maximum Systems:
This is maximum number of systems that the plotter will route you through, lower this for a shorter trip.
