Units
Choose metric or imperial display units for wind speeds, temperatures, and map distances.
Affects labels only; forecasts are still fetched in metric (km/h, °C, metres).
Map markers
Control which site and wind-station markers appear on the map, and whether their name or wind labels are shown.

Map terrain
2D is a flat map and loads faster on older hardware. 3D adds hill shading and terrain when you tilt the map.
Reload the map page after changing this.
Map overlays
Toggle hazard and advisory polygon layers. The Smoke Map raster is still controlled from the map toolbar.
Wind markers
Choose the marker shape and colour scale for live wind stations on the map. Marker shape and colour are independent — e.g. ParaglidingWX discs with the winds.mobi gust ramp.
Marker shape
Flight mode marker shape
Marker colour scale
Markers use gust speed when available. Tiers match the windgram scale below — edit cutoffs and colours there.
Markers use gust speed (km/h) on a 0–50 HSV ramp. Offline stations are grey. Windgrams and the map wind overlay still use the tier scale below.
Wind color scale
Adjust the speed cutoffs and colours used for windgram bands, map wind arrows, and the map legend.
