Better Together: Map and Search

An improvement whose time has come
We always aim to keep the layout of the app as simple as possible. Consequently, separating the weather map and the search made sense.

But as we have been adding more features, there are many cases where it would be practical to have a search option available in the weather map and vice versa.

Therefore, all search functions and features are combined into the wind map. We’re also updating the map menu with more display options so that you can adjust the look and feel of the map according to your needs and preferences.

What changes

Search on map
We are adding a new button in the top right corner of the map view. Tapping this button toggles the search – simple, isn’t it?

Search results will be displayed as a list, just like before. Tap a search result to reveal its location on the map or to jump directly to weather forecasts and measurement data.

Labels and markers for places, favorites, and Windfinder spots
All markers and labels for spots and places will be available on the map. In addition, the markers are adjusted for simplification and a better overview.

We are adding options to hide (or show) these spots, places, and favorites to the map menu. This way, the map is always as dense or lightweight as you want.

New bottom bar navigation
We have designed the new navigation symbol to communicate that search and map have been combined.

What doesn’t change

Everything else remains the way you know it.

When it is available

Very soon.
