      Please consider adding an optional satellite or hybrid imagery overlay to the map.

      For users working in nearshore areas, it would be much faster to zoom in and click on an anchorage, reef, harbor entrance, buoy, or other coastal feature than to research and manually enter latitude and longitude coordinates.

      I think this would be especially valuable for mariners, fishermen, divers, pilots, and anyone whose weather decisions depend on a very specific location rather than the nearest town.

      An optional layer would keep the interface clean while providing much more precise location selection when needed.

        @Kilby71 Hello and thank you for your suggestion. We will consider these in upcoming plans, however, we don't plan anything related at the moment.

          At high zoom levels, you have the option to switch the base map (Outdoor) to a satellite view (Aerial).
          I find it surprising that you use Windy which is a weather app, to plan your route at sea.
