      @idefix37 can you explain what you mean? In simple terms, I open Windy, click forecast this spot, then click on the 3 hourly forecast to change the default viewable map. It absolutely used to change to update that particular point in time. I have no idea what your response means.

        I mean that with the Radar or the Satellite maps it is not possible to update them by clicking on the time steps of the detailed forecast table. This is only possible is you choose other maps, like wind, temperature, clouds, or any else.
        But it is necessary to synchronise the map and the detailed forecast in the forecast settings.

          Hi I’m a premium user about to sail across the Pacific from Tahiti to New Zealand.
          I can see the settings icon at foot of “display as basic page but it’s unresponsive to touch.

            Update. I switched from AI to ECMWF and the settings options showed up
            Now “close” is not working so I am stuck in that page

                Thanks for your attention, I left the page open and walked away. It had closed by the time I got back. Sorry I then left for an appointment and forgot to tell you.

                  @fl1ght Okay, that is good, but still if you are not able to close the setting, it is a problem. Can you test it once again and let me know? Also more info about your device and version of Windy installed would be perfect.

                    For me on iOS the bug I reported has been fixed in 51.010212 With basic (non premium) the map now updates to reflect the forecast date and time.

                    Thanks Windy for restoring this great feature and listening to your users.

                      • On mobile the "Sync forecast time with map" shown and I can click on the time slot and the map got updated.
                      • When accessing thought browser on PC (mac in my case). The "Sync forecast time with map" option is missing.
                      • When accessing thought browser on PC and changing the browser to mobile view (in chrome developers tools) the "Sync forecast time with map" appears again, but after when resuming back to normal view the "Sync forecast time with map" disappears.

                      Mobile view:

                        It is missing because the map is already synchronised with the timeline below.

                          @idefix37 said in Map no longer updates when using forecasts:

                          It is missing because the map is already synchronised with the timeline below.

                          No, the toggle at self not even appears when clicking on "Settings for location fcst."

                            As I said

                            It is missing because the map is already synchronised with the timeline below.

                              @idefix37 you are wrong man.
                              The toggle on/off should appears all the time in the settings. it doesn't related to the fact if it is synced or not.

                                    No need in the browser version.

                                    IMG_4515.jpeg

                                    The map is changing according the timestamp. No need of synchronisation setting.
