      How do you change background map? I think the normal is a bit hard to see.

        @johanlinner Hello, in the settings you can choose which weather map you want to use upon opening.

              @korina To change map. I have tried to change map in settings in the app but nothing happens.

                  @johanlinner Color scale can be only changed on desktop. Default weather map can be set in the app or desktop.

                    @korina Yes that I found. Had to be on a computer. But the map? There’s only two options and I don’t see any difference between the two.

                      @korina I think I get it. That map for example clouds can not be changed but the stand alone map can be changed.

                        @johanlinner If you are talking about background map (option available via menu Settings / Change Background map): OSM map will always display at small scales, while satellite map (if selected) will only display at big map scales (e.g. town+suburb area or bigger). All this independently from currently displayed data map layer(s).

                        ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                          @vsinceac said in Background map:

                          Is it still possible to change the background map? I don't see an option under settings. I specifically want to change the background map on the radar display. It's currently all greyscale which makes it difficult to distinguish features.
