Create and Save Your Favorite Weather Maps
Custom Map Views is a Plus feature that lets you create personalized weather maps by combining your favorite radar layer with weather overlays. Think of it as a bookmark for your preferred map setup, so you can quickly return to the weather information you use most.
A new Save View icon is also available on the map screen, making it easy to save your current map configuration with a single tap.
Free users can try the feature by saving one Custom Map View. Once saved, that map view cannot be edited or recreated if deleted.
