@ivo yesterday it made it to the weather forecast of one of the national tv channel! :D

That's really great! @kbsali
Great news. Let me know if I can assist here if necessary?
The NZ radar is available free on the https://www.rainviewer.com/weather-radar-map-live.html site.

Hi @ivo
thanks! :)
I have asked them on several occasions but never got an answer.
But to be honnest, I don't think they would complain : they use the plugin on their live videos now to present where the boats are! :)
Really? Congratulations!
What a great result for you and the Windy community :)
Yes this bug has been noted by the developer.
Please see the last few posts of the following thread to monitor this issue:

Thank you again for your boat tracker plugin. It works fine, but I have a small issue on Mac using Chrome: All icons on UI disappear when I use your plugin (and only your)
I've seen the same issue sometimes, and i'm Chrome and Windows 10.
Also other users are starting to post about this issue elsewhere in the forum too.
Just a note to our international Windy users (especially those from native english speaking countries) regarding the 'girls' wording in earlier posts:
Please bear in mind that Windy was founded and is based in Prague, Czech Republic, and the Founder and most of the Team (and many of the Moderators as well) speak english as a second language, just like many of the Windy users here too.
Therefore sometimes the small nuances of words and language used may not always carry the same weight or depth of meaning (either positive or negative) as they might do in other languages, cultures, or countries.
As was mentioned, at this time the main support is indeed provided by two female Team members, @Korina and @petra-pik
Thank you for your understanding and your support of Windy and the Windy Team :)

Hi, you have just been mistaken by the title of the topic with is not clear :)
Yes that's right.
@idefix37 I didn't know of other types of "compare" features that's why i wasn't more specific. Anyway, if possible, change the topic's title to something less misleading. I can't do that anymore. Thx.
Done :)
You are right. I have edited my post. In fact we are talking about the "How To Use The "Observation vs Forecast" Feature" (which I also wrote about in the FAQ, hence my mistake).
Thanks for picking up my error :)
@idefix37 said in Did something change with the "compare" feature?:
@ivo
I use it regularly too.
In addition, now the Observation vs forecast feature shows just few hours of past forecast. When previously, the past forecast was shown over 2 or 3 days. Frankly 2 or 3 hours are not enough to choose the best model for a location.
Agreed. I use it too, as well as suggest it to Windy users here, and I even wrote a post in the FAQ about it last year:
How To Use The "Observation vs Forecast" Feature:

Also regarding push notifications from the Windy app, the app needs to be allowed to run in the background to be able to push the notifications.
Unfortunately many Android phone manufacturers have a very aggressive policy of killing apps in the background to improve the phone's battery life. It's a major problem for many different app developers.
