Viewing current data on map

The availability of layers depends on your subscription level.
  1. In the main menu, go to Map.
  2. In the Status layers panel, activate layers to display information. These layers consist of key decision-making parameters, and define what type of observations are displayed with the different colors. Only one can be selected at a time:
    • Surface state
    • Surface temperature
    • Grip
    • Air temperature
    • Snow depth
  3. The second set of layers includes:
    • Observed data points: Cast sensors and weather stations reporting data (represented as circles on the map)
    • Road weather forecast points: Locations for which Wx Horizon models a road weather assessment or forecast (represented as squares on the map)
    • Connected car data: Data collected from sensors that have been designed specifically to measure winter conditions on connected consumer vehicles
    • Road network: Network specific to your organization
    • Cloud cover: Satellite data of cloud cover
    • Feels like temperature: Temperature perceived by humans taking heat index into account
    • Radar: Precipitation movement and intensity
    • Wind: Wind direction and speed
    • Hazards: National weather warnings
    Observed data points only display observations from the sensors. For example, if the Surface state status layer is selected and a sensor does not have this parameter, the observed data point will show as gray on the map and say No data.
  4. In the Status layers panel, use the toggle button to switch between Assessment/forecast and Mobile observation. Mobile observations are made with sensors that have been designed specifically to measure winter conditions.
