- Switch between dark and light themes
- Cost savings compared to Mapbox and Google Maps
High-quality weather icons
Add custom weather icons to your maps in an organized way:
- Use raster icons, animated SVGs, or even Lotties
- The markers don’t overlap or crowd the map
- Customize them with location names and other attribute data
Weather maps on a globe
Visualize hurricanes and other large-scale weather phenomena on a globe. Weather maps are much more realistic when viewed in their true context on the surface of a globe!
- Show hurricanes and other massive storms cross oceans
- Compare temperature differences across continents
- Highlight how seas and mountain ranges influence the weather
