120,000 additional places, a stunning high-resolution map, and new map features

What is new
We’ve added labels for more than 120,000 cities and towns and given the Windfinder Spots on the map a major overhaul. The improved map menu and our new high-resolution map make navigating our weather map now easier than ever!

The Map
Our brand new high-resolution wind map with relief displays real topographical conditions. Hills, mountains, and valleys are now visible on the map. With the high-resolution wind forecast, you will see on the map how the wind flows through canyons or is deflected by islands in the sea. It enhances your visual experience making it easier to track changes in weather patterns.

New Map Features
We have slightly reorganized our map menu for easier use and added new features. The menu is divided into forecast settings and filtering options for points of interest. Use the toggle switches to customize your forecast map. Keep on reading for more details.

Labels
Cities, districts, small towns, and villages are displayed as clickable labels on the map with detailed wind and weather forecasts. States and associated sub-areas, such as federal states, are also displayed as clickable labels and reposition your screen view for better orientation. Use the toggle switch to activate or deactivate the labels on the map.

Windfinder Spots
Specific points of interest that may be relevant to you are Windfinder Spots. These include local infrastructure, such as airports, marinas, beaches, and buoys. More importantly, many Windfinder Spots are places suitable for water- and wind-based sports and activities. Discover spots for your home and holiday sessions directly on the map and make them your favorite by tapping the star icon. Click on “Show Spots” to see your filter options and the Windfinder Spots on the map.

Spot Cluster
Depending on the zoom level of the forecast map, nearby Windfinder Spots are grouped into spot clusters. The clusters help you navigate the map by giving it a clearer look. Click or tap these cluster icons to zoom in until individual spot markers appear.

Value Grid
See the air temperature and precipitation in a value grid to get the exact temperature or precipitation for your area, making the forecast on the map easier to read.

More places, more details, easier to use.
