• ATAK Integration – Windy + ATAK Would Be a Perfect Match

  First, I just want to say I genuinely love Windy. Being away from home often, it helps me stay on top of weather in multiple locations, and the camera feeds are excellent.

  I’m also very active in ATAK, and integrating real-world data into ATAK is something I’m passionate about. Windy + ATAK really feels like a natural fit—but integration is extremely difficult right now.

  1. Are there any ATAK users here who have successfully integrated Windy weather layers or camera feeds into ATAK? Any tips or workarounds would be appreciated.
  2. To the Windy developers: would you consider offering export formats compatible with ATAK (such as KML/KMZ weather layers and a more usable video/stream format for ATAK ingestion)?

  There are a lot of operational and field users who would benefit from easier integration. Windy already has outstanding data—making it more accessible to systems like ATAK would be incredible.

  If anyone can help me out: saltyoperatorarizona@gmail.com

• Switching from Radar to Satellite the first time goes Blank

  When changing from Radar to Satellite view, sometimes the Satellite view is just a dark map. When I switch to wind and then back to Satellite, the normal view and map is corrected. This is using the latest DuckDuckGo browswr on an M2 Macbook Air with the latest Apple OS update. Perhaps I’m using a beta Windy too?

• RE: Upcoming changes to Windy Plugin system

  We’re working hard to implement a new mapping library for Windy. The new library combines MapLibre GL JS and Leaflet, bringing together the advantages of WebGL performance with Leaflet’s rich ecosystem and easy-to-use API. We’re calling the new library leaflet-gl.

  The library abandons legacy Leaflet constructors, so please update your code accordingly. If you are a plugin developer, please update your constructors as well.

  We expect to launch this new library around January/February 2026.

  Legacy constructors (to be removed):

     const marker = L.marker(...);
  

  New constructors (use these):

     const marker = new L.Marker(...);

• Upcoming changes to Windy Plugin system

  Dear developer

  After a long time, we had some time to tweak our system for external developers.

  Important changes:

  • Very soon, list of installed plugins will be synced in between your devices (and also saved on the cloud). This also means, that external plugins can be accessible only by registered user.

  • New version of Windy, that should be released till end of 2026 will finally enable to use external plugins on mobile devices also in iOS and Android App. To meet strict privacy requirements of Windy.com, Apple and Google, only published and approved plugins will be enabled.

  • We are internally developing new WebGl mapping library for Windy, that will replace legacy Leaflet. But do not worry. This library should have Leaflet compatible API, so you should be able to convert your plugin in no time.

  Any new infos will be provided in this category
