      I've been noticing that Windy's base map has amazing park trails.

      Hiking and weather go hand-in-hand.

      But when I use the app, i cannot get an updating location on where I am, so i can't take advantage of the cool map that's right before my eyes.

      It would be great if I could zoom in and see myself on the trail and have it update in real time. Then, not only could I use that to help navigate, but with the radar layer on I could see approaching precipitation. A little arrow would be nice too, so I could see which way I was heading.

      Seems like this would be a pretty straightforward improvement.

      Hope you consider. This would give you a new way to promote your tool too. You could tout it as a tool to help you boat, hike, run, etc.

      You'll notice here, that my position isn't on the map.

      Note: I have given windy permission to use my exact location in the phones settings.

        You can see where I am.
        You just need to tick Find my location at top of menu.

        Windy is a weather app, not a navigation app.
        You can use Mapy.cz mobile app in Google play or App Store. They use the same base map I guess.
