      I would like to suggest an option: Would you work to make available the same style layout that pilots who fly our airplanes have? The maps look like the map in the logos of the United Nations, NATO and World Health Organization.

      I feel strongly that those maps would help us all to visualize the wind, weather and temperature flows much better.

      There is a reason that those powerful organizations logos make use of the azimuthal equidistant projection. I think I know why and I think there are others who know why.

      It would be a great addition to the WINDY offerings and I would definitely sign up for Windy Premium if it were made available.

        The polar maps are generally using the stereographic polar projection (plane tangent to the pole). This type of maps is useful for polar regions only, and you need 2 maps, north and south.

        those maps would help us all to visualize the wind, weather and temperature flows much better.

        If they are useful for wind or temperature flows, it is only for polar regions.

        There is a reason that those powerful organizations logos make use of the azimuthal equidistant projection. I think I know why and I think there are others who know why.

        If the hidden reason of these logos is the conspiracy theory about flat earth, be sure that Windy will never adhere to these crazy theories.

        By the way in the browser version Windy shows most of layers in the 3D mode which allows to get a polar view of these layers.

          @idefix37 said in NATO, UN, WHO style map (azimuthal equidistant projection):

          flat earth

          :) Sometimes I ask in those channels for modelling world´s first FE planetarium. The upsiding of the southern sky would be very funny.
