        Check these settings:

        • Always open as 1h

        • Sync forecast time with map

          There is alot of questions regarding this. Have you thought about that so many people ask about this, and then ask again after the explanation on how to fix this that the web version differs. Those settings are not available on the web.

          I can not be sure, but I think that you could click on any time on the detailed forecast and the map updated to that time on the web. On the web you need to use the slider, but it could have been that it was clickable on the detailed view before.

            They are available of course in the browser. But the layout is a bit different.

            In the browser version the map and the timeline of the location forecast are synchronised.
            And for your information I’m not a developer.

              I was referring to that in the mobile app you can actually press on the time right in the detailed forecast table, and the map updates to this time.

              In the web view you can not do this. You have to use the slider, not just click right in the forecast table. Trying to show with a screenshot, but it is not that easy without a video:

                @pheur Understood, but I am not sure, if this was possible in the older version. I will discuss this with colleagues to get more info about older versions.

                  I can not remember if this was possible before. For me personally it is not important, the slider works perfectly. And clicking in the detailed table will interfer with "holding and dragging" to move the table to either side.

                  I am just trying to come up with an explanation to that so many people ask about the time not being updated and not all of them are print screens from the mobile app. And they also say that it doesn't work, even after enabling the map follow feature.

                    @pheur I don't think it was ever possible to click an hour on the detail forecast and have the map move - on the web version.

                    Mobile app however, used to be possible, then they made up a setting for it and made it premium only. And it was defaulted to "off" not "on" so every user suddenly experienced this lack of functionality as the updates released.

                      @Wheats I have good news about this feature. We already released an update for mobile apps and this feature will be turned on by default and it will be available for all users again.

                          On my Favourites I still can’t get the map display to update to any given hour by pointing at the clockgraph. The map remains unchanged.
