      For many map overlays I am missing some kind of legend that explains what the colors mean.

      For example, this is a overlay on a map of the dutch coast:

      What does the shades of whiteness mean? Are the blue areas where there is percipitation? Then this is also some greenish areas, what do those mean?

      Thanks for any help!

        Click on location.
        Crosshair symbol appears.
        Explanation on the window (upper left).

          @Gkikas-LGPZ Thanks for the help! But I think I do not get that crosshair, see screenshot (I use the firefox browser, not the app):

          On the left side of the screen it just says webcam vicinity etc. so that cannot be it. Could you help please?

            On the browser version that you use, the crosshairs are replaced by the weather picker

            And same as in the mobile app, the picker displays :

            • the cloudiness, here forecast at 99%

            • the precipitation, here forecast at 6.5mm over the last 3 hours

              @idefix37 Thank you. It is woth mentioning that this will only work when no place is previously selected.

                It’s just the first click on the map, it’s so obvious if you want to explore and understand any layer.
