Weather maps are specialized “layers” that are added on top of your maps. These layers display real-world weather patterns such as cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed/patterns, temperature, and barometric pressure. With MapSamurai, you can combine these weather features with every other feature we include, letting you build some truly powerful, infomrative maps.

MapSamurai let’s you include the following real-time weather patterns on any of your maps:

• Cloud Cover
• Precipitation
• Temperature
• Wind Speed/Patterns
• Barometric Pressure

You can include any/all of these items as needed on any of your MapSamurai maps.

You have the option of adding an interactive weather layers interface. This inlcudes an option that lets users toggle each weather pattern individually, as well as a “weather pattern predictor” whcih is a slider that lets users see predicted weather patterns in the following 48 hours. Both of these settings can be toggled on/off in the map settings, letting you craft the perfect mapping experience for your users.

If you’re here you probably already know the answer, but weather maps are perfect for the following projects:

Tour Maps: Highlight tour locaitons on the map while letting your users see exact weather patterns on the day they plan to book their tour.
