    • RE: Description of weather overlays

      Also it would be appropriate to post a legend up on the main page about what each of the layer icons represent. In this list of descriptions there are no corresponding icons. The names of the layers did not appear in the version of Firefox I was using.

    • RE: Why does windy.com use Mercator projection?

      @rafaelntsilva I was looking up this same question when I noticed a large gale like swirl near Greenland and it wasn't clear on how large the storm was because the projection is so skewed. Since the operators of windy.com are too obstinate to properly answer your post (ie. "All map projections are wrong") There is an alternative that uses a spherical projection. It's at earth.nullschool.net. However they do not provide as much telemetry as windy.com does.

      @BW_controlroom. "All map projections are wrong" is not an answer to rafael's concern, it is an evasion. Even if all projections are wrong it doesn't mean you should use one of the least accurate known projections. It doesn't mean you cannot provide more accurate ones. It doesn't explain why the "3D projection" disappeared. Please take these concerns as legitimate feedback and consider incorporating alternative projections that represent scale more accurately.
