I'd like to have multiple layers turned on at once.

I'm new to Windy and still trying to find my way around, but it seems that only a couple layers can be turned on at the same time. And a lot/most of them, are ONE at a time.

This makes for a lot of clicking back and forth, and leads to frustration in trying to visualize how maybe one set of data is interacting with another. Or indeed just being able to see the information I'd like to see in ONE glance as opposed to several.

Is there a way to leave layers turned ON until the user wants to turn them OFF?

Thanks.

I see this issue has was reported over TWO YEARS ago and is still not fixed? Why even let the user see an option for "track location" if that feature is 100 percent broken?

Anyway, speaking of Android... (I'm using v13).

Windy needs to add a location permission request to "allow all the time". Many apps have that feature.

Right now Windy only goes as far as to request "allow only while using the app".

Now a user/programmer might think that "while using the app" includes a displayed widget (which is supposed to show app data without having to open the app), but it doesn't.

Anyway... WINDY... please add the location permission request "ALLOW ALL THE TIME".

Thanks...

On the maps, at the blue icon showing the users position, the arrow coming off that icon shows the direction the user is facing. Same idea as Google Maps, etc.

Except in the case of Windy, the arrow is showing the OPPOSITE direction.

On the attached image, I am facing WEST, not east (verified).
