Hello Rafael,
actually when you type into google "google maps projection" it always says, that they are using mercator or some hybrid based on mercator, until you "going into space". Good looks does not mean automatically that it is handy. I worked before for a map printing company and other world projections that are on paper or screen oval, bringing in the problem of filling "holes" in the corner. So if you are solving this problem that exists since maps/projections are existing you are going to be a rich man.

BTW (state of google on the 15.09.2019):
google maps (desktop) starts you usually in mercator and switches then to "globe" mode if you zoom out. I guess they "cheat" with mercator because the want to save bandwith & computing power. This is why monstrosities like google earth (and pro) existed, this programs/apps are for pro users.
google maps (mobile)still ueses some kind of mercator projection.

Hello Rafael,

in fact, every map projection is incorrect. That comes with the projection & interpolation of things. The closest thing that shows earth very similar how it is, is a globe.
The map used in windy is great for navigation.

Best Regards

Hello, it is a bug. The workaround atm is:
1.search for your wanted location
2.right click on wanted position and choose "show weather picker"

3. save the location by clicking on the heart in the top left corner.

opt.
4.rename your fav.

I hope Milo remembers my E-mail. I did it with another e-mail than I am registered

Hi,
I hope Milo is ok,
I wrote him 2 weeks ago about an update, but he did not respond yet. Or can someone check the spam filter?

Hello,
I think in this case you have to buy the windy API.

The coords windy gives me: N9°52'58", E46°46'44"

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,

So I played with the alarms a little bit and asked myself if it is possible to combine the weather warnings with the common windy alarms?

Hello mistaplane,
thank you for your workaround! I can confirm the same problem. It seems like that we are saving our favorites just to the "search engine" but not favs.

Best Regards

Hello Community,
so I tried now chrome . no change of the situation. I put up new favs and logged off and on. Waited over night and logged on. the Screenshot shows that the new favourite "T2" is not in the favourite list.
You can search for the default names and find them:

For help I would be very thankful

Best Regards
