      On this chromebook laptop, often things are over the edge of the screen, I am not seeing how to orientate the map to N/S at the top and bottom. Or is is already? Also the wind indicators are purple, which indicates the speed about 40mph or so. But a few other sites and my own speed meter says around 17mph.

      Any information on these? ty jep

        The map is showing the North up, at top of your screen and South at bottom. You don’t need additional information.

        The wind direction indicators turn purple when you zoom in enough to see the base map. But their color has nothing to do with the wind speed, they can’t be white at high zoom level only to contrast with the map. They just show the wind direction, not the speed.

          @idefix37 Many thanks to you! I had thought the indicator at the bottom right where you can change the speed units, shows gradient colors and I thought that applied to the speed. Now I'll search for how a person finds the speed.

          Thanks again! jep

            The color scale at bottom right does show the wind speed but ONLY on the color shaded wind map, not on the wind direction indicators.

            Wind direction indicators are always white, or purple at high zoom level.

              @idefix37 I'm trying to hit the thumbs up but nothing is happening on this Chromebook. I'll have to try it on the PC.
