Please modify to allow uploads to be viewable on a mobile platform. Thanks.

Yes and it make sense but once you have uploaded it on computer, the display of kmz should be easier to acces on mobile app.
The only way for the moment is to go on internet app and "windy kmz" , click first link and then it open the kmz menu in windy app.
Why there is no button in the app to acces to it ?

It work well on browser version but I don't find on mobile.
Is it possible do display on mobile or is it only on browser ?

Cyan occurs if there are GPX format issues, for example floating-point entry of timestamp values. Run a cleaner of some type on GPX files before upload and no problem, color display is normal

Unfortunately, after 3 months, Windy developers don't even seem to know this, or don't care enough to answer, or both

It looks like heat colors show climbs, but sometimes I see a long section of cyan -- what does cyan mean ?

Also is there a way to show the track all in red, like on Strava ?

Thanks, Jeff

Or share your source codes and steps with me please.I created an android app with GPS tracking, the data will be stored in Firebase Database.

While I appreciate that option, and i trust you to not intentionally share the data, I'm trying to determine if there is a way to make sure the data isn't exposed if you had a security incident. My thought on how i could do that is by using the KML option to use a reference to the data like this:

Random Placemark
      Here is some more kml content
      
        http://internalServer.corp/more_kml_content.kml
        once

That's what i was trying to avoid if i can.

My problem is that i may not be allowed to share this data. So i'm trying to make sure i prevent it from being uploaded to your server. My thought was to take advantage of the ability that KML provides to use a reference to another file. So if i do that, does that data get loaded into the local memory of your web app? Or does it first upload the data to your server and then download it to the web browser.

Looking to load files from my local network without having to upload them to your server.

@mhaberler
I remember too the live tracker of Ben Lecomte who tried to cross the Pacific from Tokyo to San Francisco. He abandoned in Hawai .
He used a GPS tracker and had of course an assistance boat.

There are some official examples also available.

My site is tracker.ee, you can copy-paste some code if you want, just don't make visually identical clone :)

Multiple boats (race ended, so no active movements):
https://gis.ee/sh/

Single boat:
https://gis.ee/leaucommotion/

Probably most difficult part is getting data from boat.
For L'Eau Commotion Iridium Go was used.
Iridium Go has automatic reporting service via e-mail.
Server can fetch those e-mail reports and make it usable for Leaflet map (Windy API).

There are several people who have developed such tracks on Windy maps.
Here is an other example
https://tracker.borisherrmannracing.com/
Another one was the track shown when Greta Thunberg sailed from UK to New York. So Windy developers knows how to do that.
