About WeatherGPX
WeatherGPX is a tool designed for people who plan their outings using GPX tracks: hikers, mountain bikers, motorbikers, and long‑distance travelers. The goal is simple: to provide a clear and reliable view of the weather along an entire route, rather than only at a starting point or destination.
Unlike classic forecasts that focus on a single city or location, WeatherGPX calculates the weather along your track, based on your travel speed and departure time. WeatherGPX does not only show where it will rain, but when you will be there. Each weather point is synchronized with your progress along the route, which allows you to anticipate rain, wind, or temperature drops much more precisely during your trip.
You simply import your GPX track (or, if needed, a route from Google Maps), set your departure time and your average speed, and WeatherGPX generates the weather along your route according to these parameters. The display is designed to remain clear and usable whether you are preparing a short hike or a longer trip by motorbike or car.
The forecasts used by WeatherGPX come from Open‑Meteo, an open weather API that aggregates local and global weather models from several national meteorological services (Europe, North America, and other regions of the world) to provide accurate forecasts anywhere on the planet. Open‑Meteo offers standardized access to this data through a modern API, which enables services like WeatherGPX to integrate reliable hourly forecasts at any point along a route.
WeatherGPX also focuses on reliability in real‑world conditions. Essential data is cached so that some key information remains available even if you lose connection, for example in the mountains or on remote roads. This approach aims to support users as closely as possible in their actual practice: one track, one departure time, one speed, and weather aligned with their progression.
WeatherGPX is developed with a clear priority: to provide a precise, useful, and specialized service for weather planning along a route, building on the current habits of people who use GPX tracks and navigation tools.
A personal project
WeatherGPX was built by an independent hiker and biker who ran into the same problem too many times: standing in the middle of nowhere, unsure whether to push on or turn back, with no real sense of what the weather was doing further along the route. The classic forecast — a city, a single point, a vague icon — just doesn't cut it when you're off-road and the next pass is two hours away.
WeatherGPX is free to use. Your tracks, weather data, and map tiles are all stored directly on your device, so even without a connection you still have access to everything you loaded before heading out. The one catch: if you clear your browser cache, that data goes with it.
The subscription is modest — it helps cover development, but its main purpose is cloud storage. With a subscription, your tracks, weather, and map tiles are synced across all your devices, safely stored and always there when you need them.

À propos de WeatherGPX
WeatherGPX est un outil conçu pour les personnes qui préparent leurs sorties à partir de traces GPX : randonneurs, pratiquants de VTT, motards et voyageurs au long cours. L'objectif est simple : offrir une vision claire et fiable de la météo le long d'un parcours complet, plutôt que seulement à un point de départ ou d'arrivée.
Contrairement aux prévisions classiques centrées sur une ville ou un seul lieu, WeatherGPX calcule la météo le long de votre trace en tenant compte de votre vitesse de déplacement et de votre heure de départ. WeatherGPX ne montre pas seulement où il va pleuvoir, mais quand vous y serez. Chaque point météo est synchronisé avec votre progression sur l'itinéraire, ce qui permet d'anticiper beaucoup plus finement les zones de pluie, de vent ou de baisse de température pendant votre sortie.
Vous importez simplement votre trace GPX (ou, si nécessaire, un itinéraire issu de Google Maps), vous indiquez votre heure de départ et votre vitesse moyenne, et WeatherGPX génère la météo le long de votre route en fonction de ces paramètres. L'affichage est conçu pour rester lisible et exploitable, que vous prépariez une randonnée de quelques heures ou un trajet plus long à moto ou en voiture.
Les prévisions utilisées par WeatherGPX proviennent d'Open‑Meteo, une API météo ouverte qui agrège des modèles météorologiques locaux et globaux issus de plusieurs services météorologiques nationaux (Europe, Amérique du Nord et autres régions du monde), afin de proposer des prévisions précises partout sur la planète. Open‑Meteo offre un accès standardisé à ces données via une API moderne, ce qui permet à des services comme WeatherGPX d'intégrer des prévisions horaires fiables sur n'importe quel point d'un itinéraire.
WeatherGPX met également l'accent sur la fiabilité en conditions réelles. Les données essentielles sont mises en cache afin que certaines informations restent disponibles même en cas de perte de connexion, par exemple en montagne ou sur des routes isolées. Cette approche vise à accompagner les utilisateurs au plus près de leur pratique : une trace, une heure de départ, une vitesse, et une météo alignée sur leur progression.
WeatherGPX est développé avec une priorité claire : fournir un service précis, utile et spécialisé pour la planification météo le long d'un parcours, en s'appuyant sur les habitudes actuelles des utilisateurs de traces GPX et d'outils de navigation.
Un projet personnel
WeatherGPX a été créé par un randonneur et motard indépendant qui s'est retrouvé trop souvent dans la même situation : au milieu de nulle part, sans savoir s'il fallait continuer ou faire demi-tour, sans aucune idée réelle de ce qui l'attendait météo plus loin sur l'itinéraire. La prévision classique — une ville, un point unique, une icône vague — ne suffit pas quand on est hors-route et que le prochain col est à deux heures.
WeatherGPX est gratuit. Vos traces, données météo et tuiles de carte sont stockées directement sur votre appareil, ce qui vous permet d'y accéder même sans connexion, à condition d'avoir tout chargé avant de partir. La seule limite : si vous videz le cache de votre navigateur, ces données disparaissent avec lui.
L'abonnement est modeste — il contribue un peu au développement, mais son but principal est le stockage cloud. Avec un abonnement, vos traces, météo et tuiles de carte sont synchronisées sur tous vos appareils, sauvegardées en sécurité et toujours disponibles quand vous en avez besoin.

Über WeatherGPX
WeatherGPX ist ein Tool für Menschen, die ihre Ausflüge anhand von GPX-Tracks planen: Wanderer, Mountainbiker, Motorradfahrer und Weitreisende. Das Ziel ist einfach: eine klare und zuverlässige Wetterübersicht entlang einer gesamten Route zu bieten – nicht nur am Start- oder Zielpunkt.
Im Gegensatz zu klassischen Vorhersagen, die sich auf eine Stadt oder einen einzelnen Ort konzentrieren, berechnet WeatherGPX das Wetter entlang Ihrer Strecke – basierend auf Ihrer Reisegeschwindigkeit und Abfahrtszeit. WeatherGPX zeigt nicht nur, wo es regnen wird, sondern wann Sie dort sein werden. Jeder Wetterpunkt ist mit Ihrem Fortschritt auf der Route synchronisiert, sodass Sie Regen, Wind oder Temperaturabfälle während Ihres Ausflugs viel präziser einplanen können.
Sie importieren einfach Ihren GPX-Track (oder bei Bedarf eine Route aus Google Maps), geben Ihre Abfahrtszeit und Ihre Durchschnittsgeschwindigkeit an, und WeatherGPX erstellt das Wetter entlang Ihrer Route entsprechend dieser Parameter. Die Anzeige ist so gestaltet, dass sie übersichtlich und nutzbar bleibt – egal ob Sie eine kurze Wanderung oder eine längere Motorrad- oder Autofahrt planen.
Die von WeatherGPX verwendeten Vorhersagen stammen von Open‑Meteo, einer offenen Wetter-API, die lokale und globale Wettermodelle mehrerer nationaler meteorologischer Dienste (Europa, Nordamerika und andere Regionen der Welt) aggregiert, um überall auf der Welt präzise Vorhersagen zu liefern. Open‑Meteo bietet über eine moderne API standardisierten Zugang zu diesen Daten, wodurch Dienste wie WeatherGPX zuverlässige stündliche Vorhersagen an jedem Punkt einer Route integrieren können.
WeatherGPX legt auch Wert auf Zuverlässigkeit unter realen Bedingungen. Wesentliche Daten werden zwischengespeichert, damit wichtige Informationen auch bei Verbindungsverlust verfügbar bleiben – etwa in den Bergen oder auf abgelegenen Straßen. Dieser Ansatz zielt darauf ab, Nutzer so nah wie möglich an ihrer eigentlichen Praxis zu begleiten: eine Strecke, eine Abfahrtszeit, eine Geschwindigkeit und ein Wetter, das mit ihrer Progression abgestimmt ist.
WeatherGPX wird mit einer klaren Priorität entwickelt: einen präzisen, nützlichen und spezialisierten Dienst für die Wetterplanung entlang einer Route bereitzustellen – aufbauend auf den aktuellen Gewohnheiten von Menschen, die GPX-Tracks und Navigationstools nutzen.
Ein persönliches Projekt
WeatherGPX wurde von einem unabhängigen Wanderer und Biker entwickelt, der zu oft in dieselbe Situation geraten ist: mitten im Nirgendwo, ohne zu wissen, ob er weitermachen oder umkehren sollte, ohne wirkliche Vorstellung davon, was das Wetter weiter entlang der Route bringen würde. Die klassische Vorhersage — eine Stadt, ein einzelner Punkt, ein vages Symbol — reicht einfach nicht, wenn man abseits der Straße ist und der nächste Pass zwei Stunden entfernt liegt.
WeatherGPX ist kostenlos. Ihre Strecken, Wetterdaten und Kartenkacheln werden direkt auf Ihrem Gerät gespeichert, sodass Sie auch ohne Verbindung auf alles zugreifen können, was Sie vorher geladen haben. Der einzige Haken: Wenn Sie Ihren Browser-Cache leeren, sind diese Daten weg.
Das Abonnement ist bescheiden — es trägt etwas zur Entwicklung bei, aber sein Hauptzweck ist die Cloud-Speicherung. Mit einem Abonnement werden Ihre Strecken, Wetterdaten und Kartenkacheln auf allen Ihren Geräten synchronisiert, sicher gespeichert und immer verfügbar, wenn Sie sie brauchen.

Informazioni su WeatherGPX
WeatherGPX è uno strumento pensato per chi pianifica le proprie uscite utilizzando tracce GPX: escursionisti, mountain biker, motociclisti e viaggiatori di lungo corso. L'obiettivo è semplice: offrire una visione chiara e affidabile del meteo lungo un intero percorso, non solo al punto di partenza o di arrivo.
A differenza delle previsioni classiche incentrate su una città o una singola località, WeatherGPX calcola il meteo lungo la tua traccia in base alla velocità di spostamento e all'orario di partenza. WeatherGPX non mostra solo dove pioverà, ma quando ci sarai. Ogni punto meteo è sincronizzato con il tuo avanzamento lungo il percorso, permettendoti di anticipare pioggia, vento o cali di temperatura con maggiore precisione durante la tua uscita.
Importi semplicemente la tua traccia GPX (o, se necessario, un itinerario da Google Maps), imposti l'orario di partenza e la velocità media, e WeatherGPX genera le previsioni meteo lungo il percorso in base a questi parametri. La visualizzazione è progettata per restare chiara e utilizzabile, che tu stia pianificando un'escursione di poche ore o un viaggio più lungo in moto o in auto.
Le previsioni utilizzate da WeatherGPX provengono da Open‑Meteo, un'API meteo aperta che aggrega modelli meteorologici locali e globali provenienti da diversi servizi meteorologici nazionali (Europa, Nord America e altre regioni del mondo) per fornire previsioni accurate ovunque sul pianeta. Open‑Meteo offre un accesso standardizzato a questi dati tramite un'API moderna, consentendo a servizi come WeatherGPX di integrare previsioni orarie affidabili in qualsiasi punto di un itinerario.
WeatherGPX pone l'accento anche sull'affidabilità nelle condizioni reali. I dati essenziali vengono memorizzati nella cache affinché alcune informazioni chiave rimangano disponibili anche in caso di perdita di connessione, ad esempio in montagna o su strade isolate. Questo approccio mira a supportare gli utenti il più vicino possibile alla loro pratica reale: una traccia, un orario di partenza, una velocità e un meteo allineato alla loro progressione.
WeatherGPX è sviluppato con una priorità chiara: fornire un servizio preciso, utile e specializzato per la pianificazione meteo lungo un percorso, basandosi sulle abitudini attuali delle persone che utilizzano tracce GPX e strumenti di navigazione.
Un progetto personale
WeatherGPX è stato creato da un escursionista e biker indipendente che si è trovato troppe volte nella stessa situazione: nel mezzo del nulla, senza sapere se continuare o tornare indietro, senza un'idea chiara di cosa avrebbe portato il meteo più avanti lungo il percorso. La previsione classica — una città, un punto solo, un'icona vaga — non basta quando sei fuori strada e il prossimo passo è a due ore di cammino.
WeatherGPX è gratuito. Le tue tracce, i dati meteo e i tile della mappa sono salvati direttamente sul tuo dispositivo, così puoi accedervi anche senza connessione, a patto di aver caricato tutto prima di partire. L'unico limite: se svuoti la cache del browser, quei dati scompaiono con essa.
L'abbonamento è modesto — contribuisce un po' allo sviluppo, ma il suo scopo principale è l'archiviazione nel cloud. Con un abbonamento, le tue tracce, i dati meteo e i tile della mappa sono sincronizzati su tutti i tuoi dispositivi, salvati in sicurezza e sempre disponibili quando ne hai bisogno.

Acerca de WeatherGPX
WeatherGPX es una herramienta diseñada para quienes planifican sus salidas utilizando tracks GPX: senderistas, ciclistas de montaña, motociclistas y viajeros de larga distancia. El objetivo es sencillo: ofrecer una visión clara y fiable del tiempo a lo largo de una ruta completa, no solo en el punto de salida o de llegada.
A diferencia de las previsiones clásicas centradas en una ciudad o un único lugar, WeatherGPX calcula el tiempo a lo largo de tu track en función de tu velocidad de desplazamiento y tu hora de salida. WeatherGPX no solo muestra dónde lloverá, sino cuándo estarás allí. Cada punto meteorológico está sincronizado con tu avance a lo largo de la ruta, lo que permite anticipar lluvia, viento o descensos de temperatura con mucha más precisión durante tu salida.
Simplemente importas tu track GPX (o, si es necesario, una ruta desde Google Maps), indicas tu hora de salida y tu velocidad media, y WeatherGPX genera el tiempo a lo largo de tu ruta según estos parámetros. La visualización está diseñada para mantenerse clara y utilizable, tanto si estás preparando una caminata de pocas horas como un viaje más largo en moto o en coche.
Las previsiones utilizadas por WeatherGPX provienen de Open‑Meteo, una API meteorológica abierta que agrega modelos meteorológicos locales y globales de varios servicios meteorológicos nacionales (Europa, América del Norte y otras regiones del mundo) para ofrecer previsiones precisas en cualquier punto del planeta. Open‑Meteo ofrece acceso estandarizado a estos datos a través de una API moderna, lo que permite a servicios como WeatherGPX integrar previsiones horarias fiables en cualquier punto de un itinerario.
WeatherGPX también hace hincapié en la fiabilidad en condiciones reales. Los datos esenciales se almacenan en caché para que cierta información clave esté disponible incluso si se pierde la conexión, por ejemplo en la montaña o en carreteras remotas. Este enfoque pretende acompañar a los usuarios lo más cerca posible de su práctica real: un track, una hora de salida, una velocidad y un tiempo alineado con su progresión.
WeatherGPX se desarrolla con una prioridad clara: ofrecer un servicio preciso, útil y especializado para la planificación meteorológica a lo largo de una ruta, basándose en los hábitos actuales de las personas que utilizan tracks GPX y herramientas de navegación.
Un proyecto personal
WeatherGPX fue creado por un senderista y motorista independiente que se encontró demasiadas veces en la misma situación: en medio de ninguna parte, sin saber si seguir adelante o dar la vuelta, sin tener una idea real de lo que haría el tiempo más adelante en la ruta. La previsión clásica — una ciudad, un único punto, un icono vago — simplemente no es suficiente cuando estás fuera de la carretera y el próximo puerto está a dos horas.
WeatherGPX es gratuito. Tus rutas, datos meteorológicos y teselas del mapa se almacenan directamente en tu dispositivo, por lo que puedes acceder a todo incluso sin conexión, siempre que hayas cargado todo antes de salir. El único inconveniente: si borras la caché del navegador, esos datos desaparecen con ella.
La suscripción es modesta — contribuye algo al desarrollo, pero su propósito principal es el almacenamiento en la nube. Con una suscripción, tus rutas, datos meteorológicos y teselas del mapa se sincronizan en todos tus dispositivos, guardados de forma segura y siempre disponibles cuando los necesitas.

Versions
- The Fire button is now a Hazards button (warning-triangle icon): one panel to choose which natural hazards appear on the map — wildfires plus floods, earthquakes, cyclones, volcanoes and droughts, from worldwide GDACS alerts. Each hazard has its own coloured marker; tap one for details
- Fires now load only when you are zoomed in enough (a "zoom in" hint appears when the view is too wide), and the fire overlay is smoother and steadier while you pan and zoom
- Hide all button to clear every hazard in one tap
- New Fire button (flame icon): shows active wildfires near your route, detected by NASA satellites and refreshed through the day — handy off-road to see at a glance if fires are burning along the way
- Tap a flame for details — when it was detected, the confidence of the detection and the fire's intensity; larger flames mean more intense fires
- New Relief button (mountain icon): shaded hillshading makes the terrain readable — ridges, valleys and slopes stand out — even on the flat top-down map
- New 3D button: tilt the map and watch your track climb and descend over real elevation, with sky and atmospheric haze on the horizon
- Turning on 3D also switches on Relief; both buttons light up while active. Turning 3D off returns to a flat map but keeps Relief on if you had it on
- Daily Forecast now shows just the selected day (midnight to midnight) instead of running on into the following days
- The timeline control no longer drifts into the middle of the screen after rotating the phone — it stays anchored above the navigation bar
- Rotating the screen now reliably re-fits the map to your track and reflows the layout
- Quick Start (magic wand) moved from the map into the Weather and GPX panels; the separate Express button removed — Quick Start's "GPX Track" option opens the same route wizard
- Map top controls rebalanced: Share sits on its own to the left of the coordinates field; My Location, Marker display and Radar grouped to the right; the button row stays centred in portrait
- Settings drawer widened on landscape phones so the Weather panel is no longer cramped
- Google Maps import button relabelled from "Google Maps URL" to "Google Maps"
- Live Route reworked after 3 days / 1500 km of real-world ride testing
- Off-track recovery fixed: navigation now re-acquires the track after you stray from it, instead of staying stuck "off-track" until you closed and reopened navigation
- Offline no longer shows you as logged out — your session is kept when the connection drops and restored automatically when you're back online
- Navigation HUD redesigned: speed, elevation, remaining distance and ETA in a full-width 2×2 grid with larger numbers — units no longer wrap; next weather shown on its own centred line at the bottom
- Live ETA now uses your actual moving-average speed (measured while riding) instead of the configured cruising speed
- Navigation starts North-up with a brief cue and a pulsing orientation button, so you switch to heading-up when you choose
- Rider position arrow moved to the lower third of the screen — more of the road ahead is visible
- Rider arrow enlarged and now red; look-ahead chevrons red; track line ahead thicker — easier to see at a glance while moving
- Bigger navigation button icons and on-screen messages; alerts and toasts now size themselves to fit, fixing text overflow in longer languages like German
- New navigation toggles: "lat/lon" shows the live coordinate readout (handy for reporting your position for SOS or rescue), and "weather point" shows or hides the weather markers on the map
- The on-map eye button now toggles the weather line in the HUD
- Offline maps: download a region to use the map without internet, available to subscribers
- 57 regions available across all continents: Europe, Americas, Asia, Africa, and Oceania
- Offline maps dialog: regions grouped by continent in a collapsible accordion
- Group feature renamed "Live Group" — works for hikers, cyclists, and riders, not only motorcycle trips
- Live Group panel redesigned: Member and Watch as distinct labeled sections; group name on its own row with an edit button for admins; Share and Leave at the bottom of the Member section; followed groups listed with name, rider count, and × to unfollow each one individually
- Group name changes made by the admin now propagate to all members and watchers in real time
- Live navigation: heading-up mode now correctly puts your direction of travel at the top of the screen — previously it was inverted
- Live navigation: the blue position arrow now points in the actual direction of travel
- Navigation lookahead chevrons: white with a soft glow instead of the track color — easier to see against any map background; slightly larger
- Zoom level on navigation entry increased by one step on all activities
- Group riding: share your GPS position in real time with others on the same route — everyone appears as a colored dot on the map, updated every 3 seconds, no account needed
- Groups get a random landmark name (Matterhorn, Lofoten, Grand Canyon…) instead of a code — easier to recognize and share
- Group SOS: one tap sends an alert to the whole group; a red banner with the sender's name appears on all screens; anyone can cancel once the situation is resolved
- Groups are limited to 10 people
- Share link combines the route and the group in a single URL — recipients land on the track with the group already joined
- Help page: Group riding section added in all five languages
- Landing page: new "Ride together" section; plan feature lists updated; "Registered" renamed to "Subscriber" throughout
- Landing page restructured around two pillars: Weather (standalone or along a route) and Navigation (live GPS); new hero title, "How it works" expanded to 4 steps including navigate live, two dedicated feature sections replacing the old features grid
- Login panel and landing page pricing: Free column now shows "no account" and "no registration" aligned with the price lines of the Registered column
- Join and Unjoin moved from the track edit dialog to two panel-level buttons above the track list — Join merges all visible tracks at once, Unjoin splits any joined track back into its original segments

- Live Route HUD: on landscape phones, labels appear inline next to values instead of stacked — more compact
- Live Route: orientation button moved to the left control column, under the eye and close buttons — same position in portrait and landscape
- Live Route: map auto-centers on your position; panning manually pauses auto-center — tap My Location to resume
- Live Route: the eye button now toggles all weather layers (track markers, area markers, custom point) together and restores them exactly as they were when navigation ends
- Live Route panel: three new options — Voice guidance, Coordinates bar, Off-track alert — each can be toggled independently
- Express wizard: after completing the wizard, the app opens the Navigation panel instead of the Weather panel
- Elevation data (for routes without GPS altitude, such as Google Maps) now comes from OpenTopoData — a separate source from the weather fetch, reducing load on Open-Meteo
- Map engine upgraded from Leaflet to MapLibre GL — vector tiles rendered in WebGL, sharper at every zoom level and on high-DPI screens
- Direction arrows on the route line show which way the track runs
- Map style switched to OpenFreeMap liberty — cleaner look, more detail at high zoom
- Weather icons switched from PNG to SVG — crisp on all screen densities including high-DPI phones and tablets
- Live Route: optional voice guidance — toggle next to the Live Route button; announces turns, sharp bends and U-turns with a distance countdown (first announcement, then at 200 m, then at the turn); also announces off-track, wrong direction, and arrived; off by default
- Admin: subscription column now shows _mo or _yr instead of "active", synced from Stripe; monthly and yearly counts visible in the stats header
- Admin: password field has a show/hide eye button
- Google login now works on desktop browsers — state stored as a first-party cookie set before the redirect
- Track list: Join all button (left) merges all tracks into one using the optimal order and direction — large gaps (over 5 km) are flagged before joining; Delete all button (right) removes all tracks after confirmation
- Track color shown on the eye visibility button in the track list
- Weather points setting replaces the km interval: choose how many weather points to place along the route — spacing adjusts automatically to the route length (5 points for free accounts, up to 25 for subscribers)

- Express wizard: removed the info button next to the route selectors; GPX file and Google Maps tabs now fill the full width
- Help page Live Route section updated in all five languages: button label corrected, weather not required to start, eye button described as left-side map control, GPS altitude note added
- Google Maps on mobile: paste the link from the Share button directly — no more "request desktop site" workaround needed
- Live Route button moved to the top of the GPX panel, above Express, and shown only when a track is loaded
- Live Route HUD: cell 2 now shows your GPS elevation (altitude from your device sensor); weather row shows precipitation instead of wind speed, with the distance to the next weather point
- Live Route HUD shows "Waiting for GPS…" on start — prevents blank display when the device is still acquiring a signal
- My location button zooms to navigation level during Live Route (16 for motorbike/road, 17 for MTB, 18 for hiking)
- Desktop GPS jitter fix: inaccurate browser location (IP-based, wrong city) no longer causes the map to jump to the wrong place or the HUD to stay blank on entry into Live Route
- Express wizard: the Google Maps tab now has an ⓘ button — on mobile, the link shared from the Google Maps app needs to be modified before it can be pasted here; tap the button for a direct link to the step-by-step FAQ
- Changing speed in settings now immediately updates all arrival times and weather along the route — no need to re-fetch
- Express wizard departure time now uses two 24h selectors (hour 00–23, minute 00/15/30/45) — no more AM/PM on iOS regardless of device locale
- Live navigation portrait layout: HUD moves to the bottom-right, curve-ahead panel to the bottom-left — both visible at the same time without stacking
- Off-track and wrong-direction alerts appear centered at the bottom, overlaying both panels only when active — the stop button stays clear at all times

- Compare departures dialog title now translates correctly when the app language is not English
- Language set on the landing page now carries over to the app — no more reset to English on first open
- All dialogs (track edit, Quick Start, compare, share, radar…) now translate immediately when opened, regardless of which language was active
- Loop tracks: departure and arrival weather markers no longer overlap — they are offset sideways so both icons remain readable
- Live Route: map orientation toggle — a button in the top bar switches between north-up and direction-of-travel-up, using a proper Leaflet rotation engine that loads tiles for the rotated viewport and works offline
- Live Route: snap algorithm now uses a forward-only window after the first GPS fix, preventing hairpin bends from pulling the position marker to the wrong side of the track
- Live Route: red dashed line from your GPS position to the nearest track point is now shown whenever you are off-track, not only at the pre-navigation approach stage
- Live Route: navigation controls enlarged during active navigation — larger icons, input and Leaflet zoom buttons for easier use while moving
- Live Route: in landscape, the HUD moves to the right edge and alert panels to the left edge, both at the same height, and alerts are roughly twice the size
- Portrait: during navigation the top controls wrap to two rows — buttons on the first line, coordinates input on the second
- Title, description and landing page now explicitly mention Google Maps route import, making the feature discoverable from searches like "weather along Google Maps route"
- Track visibility (show/hide eye button) is now saved — hidden tracks stay hidden after reload
- Hiding the active track automatically transfers focus to the first remaining visible track, so the active track is always one you can see
- Google Maps import FAQ: added a warning that "Your location" as the starting point produces a URL with no fixed origin that cannot be imported — a real address or coordinates must be used
- Live Route: curve angle ahead — a panel above the navigation bar shows the upcoming bend direction, sharpness, and distance (bear, curve, sharp turn, or U-turn icons)
- Live Route: off-track alert — red banner and vibration when you stray more than 40 m (hiking/MTB) or 75 m (road/moto) from the route, with a confirmation when you return
- Live Route: wrong direction warning — amber banner and vibration when GPS heading is more than 130° off the expected track bearing, confirmed across 3 consecutive readings to avoid false alerts
- Quick Start wizard no longer opens automatically when area weather is already active
- Delete button moved to the left side of the track edit dialog footer
- Radar overlay: animated precipitation map in a dialog, shows the last 45 minutes and available nowcast up to +15 minutes, play/pause and scrub controls, track displayed on the radar map
- Active track is now remembered across reloads — the last track you were working on is restored, not the most recently created one
- Area weather restored correctly on reload — markers reappear at the right positions from the saved cache, no incorrect refetch
- Area weather day/night icons now reflect the actual current time, not the route departure time
- Track arrival times preserved for routes without GPS timestamps — all points no longer collapse to the departure time when weather is re-derived

- Live Route works without weather, starts on any loaded track
- Weather auto-refresh during navigation, updates in the background when data is over 1 hour old and you are online
- Weather cache re-uses fetched data for 1 hour, forces a new fetch when the sampling interval or speed changes
- App updates automatically when a new version is available, no manual refresh needed
- Track join: "Join…" in the track edit dialog appends another track to the current one, useful for multi-segment trails (e.g. TET) that you want as a single route for weather
- Quick start + Install sections added to this help page
- Share a route with weather: click the link icon on any track with weather to get a shareable URL, recipient sees the full route, forecast and elevation chart instantly, no account needed
- Multi-track GPX support: files with multiple track segments (e.g. long-distance trails) are imported as separate tracks, each with a distinct colour, all visible on the map
- Rain and wind alert summary: coloured pills above the weather list highlight dangerous conditions (strong gusts, heavy rain, storm, freezing, ice risk) with activity-aware thresholds
