      Greetings,

      I am having trouble getting the temperature units to change on an embedded map. I set it to temperature and change the units to F in the dropdown, but it still displays units C.

      I'm not sure why because the url shows the code for F.

        Hi @McNutty195,

        does this URL work for you?

          Hi marekd, the url does work, however, the units still show as degrees C at the bottom.

            Could you please try it again using an incognito window?

                I am not able to reproduce the error. Does your debug console contain any error on this URL?

                  The map in the screenshot below is from the link that you posted. It shows in the URL that the units should be in degrees F, but at the bottom of the page it shows degrees C.

                  I'm not entirely sure how to access the debug console you are referring to. Can you give me some instructions on what you are wanting to see?

                    You are running Windows & Chrome, right? Than just press F12, click Console tab and refresh site. If you do not see any error here, I am affraid we cannot help you. We are not able to reproduce the error at any device :-(

                      I have same problems with wind speed. I have chosen wind speed as m/s, but in embedded site is is changed back to knots.

                        Can confirm that I am unable to get temperature to show Fahrenheit on embedded maps as well. Using the &metricTemp=%C2%B0F option doesn't appear to do anything when viewing the map (both on the Preview as well as the actual embed code). I've tried 4 different internet browsers that all show the same issue.

                                For what it is worth, I still cannot get any of my devices to show the widget with units in Fahrenheit rather than Celsius. I have tried Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. I've tried on three windows machines and a Chromebook.

                                Edit After checking a couple of more times: I did manage to get an error to pop up in the console on the edge browser. I have no idea if it has an significance.

                                  @McNutty195 We discovered the bug, the problem is only when accessing the embed from the US. It will not appear in Europe. Will be fixed soon.
