Two Suggestions for Improving Windy

[Rod Outback]

Speaking from perspective of a user from Outback Australia, so I appreciate my needs might be a bit different..
In the Summer/Thunderstorm months, Windy is used multiple times daily, to track storms, as well as where lighting has struck(potential bushfires).
I use Favorites a lot, and at present have around 50 of them in our area.
We dont have a lot of major roads, geographical features or towns in our region to assist with location, so Favorites help me pin down locations of Lightning Strikes, and so where we might need to be keeping a lookout for bushfires starting up.

What would be a HUGE improvement for me:-

1). Option to have Favorites Locations saved with a selection of maybe 8-10 different icons, instead of them all being love-hearts.
Different icons would make tracking thunderstorms and/or bushfires in our area a lot simpler when the map is zoomed out(ie cant see the Favorite names).
I'd be able to use one icon for houses, another for dams, and another for other building types, etc etc etc.

2). Having at least Favorites AND the fires able to be displayed on the map at the same time.
[So, being able to see both fires and Favorites on the map at the same time..]
I seem to remember this was an option a couple of years back?
Frustrating when trying to locate fires in the region, when one of the reference points I could use, is turned off when I turn on the fires.

Anyway; I make this suggestion on how Windy might be able to make itself even better.

Cheers.
