      I'm an old sailor and accustomed to seeing current and forecast weather maps sent by FAX which always included arrows at the center of the high and low pressure centers indicating their current or forecast speed and direction. I miss it. You obviously have the information in your data and I believe it would be a feature welcomed by your viewers. Thank you for listening.

        Hello @JohnOman, thank you for your feedback. We don't have such a map but you can check the layer 'Pressure'. The color scale will help you identify high and low pressure and the timeline will show you the forecasted movement.

          How I manage it:
          Select a "low" at certain time (e.g. 19 Aug/00)

          ... menu , distance&planning ....

          click on the center of the low

          move the time slider for (let say) 10 hours and click at the new position of the center.

          So, the "low" moved WNW at 15 kts
          (150 NM in 10 hours = 15 NM per hr = 15 kt)
