@Suty hi! Sorry for the delay.
At the time of writing the original post,
I could not open a webcam by clicking on the name on the map. However, this now works again, so this issue can be closed. Thank you for the support!
@andre-david At this moment, we don't have any specify plans to update the map, however, it will fix it after this will be done. Since we are mainly weather forecast app, we are more focused on new updates and features in that field.
Hi @Vinnie1625 so you don't see those hearts on the map when you are logged into your Premium account, right? [image: 1668583394638-b961010d-761f-4980-95e5-d10e9b1f1904-image-resized.png]
Wrong address, mate, the maps here at windy belongs to OpenStreetMap map service. Try to contact them to fix this error or fix it yourself by making account at that service as it is free to edit.

That seems difficult.
Tides are computed in Windy using the harmonic calculation method:
https://community.windy.com/topic/4841/tide-forecast-on-windy
For this calculation it is necessary to get reference measurements for each harbour or location where tides forecast is provided:
https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/about_harmonic_constituents.html
These measurements are generally made by tide gauges.
Windy has tried to collect more data around the world, but apparently did not succeed.
Indeed, there are many countries where these data are not available in open source. In these countries their national hydrographic institute provides the tide forecast.
Could we use satellite observations to measure sea level changes? This is already possible, but probably is lacking of precision in some places. The tidal heights depend heavily on the shape of the coastline and the satellite measurement resolution does not provide sufficiently detailed data.
Hi @myviewnow when on the timeline, you don't have to release your finger, just stay on one time for one second and the visualization will change. Does this work on your phone?
Windy also has a feature which may be of some help:
How To Use The "Observation vs Forecast" Feature
https://community.windy.com/topic/9425/how-to-use-the-observation-vs-forecast-feature
This feature enables you to compare what the "Weather Station Observed" with what the various "Forecast Models Predicted" during the last few days.

In the case of a political dispute please leave such topics out of the Windy forum and instead focus on the discussion of weather.
Thank you :)
