Weather & map overlays Premium

Lay a weather forecast — or public land — right over your route, and scrub through the days ahead to see what you’re driving into. Overlays are a premium feature.

Turn on an overlay

  1. Open a trip to see its route on the map.
  2. Tap Map layers in the map corner to open the layers panel.
  3. Tick any overlay to draw it over the route. Each one shows a legend so you can read the colours; turn on as many as you like.
  4. Drag the Weather opacity slider if the colours hide the road and city names — it fades the overlay without turning it off, and remembers your setting.
The layers panel open over a trip map, with the Temperature overlay ticked, its NOAA/NWS colour legend, and the Weather opacity slider below.

What you can overlay

Temperature
Air temperature, in your °F/°C preference. Handy for the overnight-cold check.
Precipitation
Where rain (or snow) is falling and how heavy.
Humidity & clouds
Relative humidity and cloud cover across the map.
Wind
Arrows showing wind direction and speed — bigger and denser as you zoom in. Useful for a high-profile rig on an exposed stretch.
Air quality
Surface fine-particle (PM2.5) levels — good for spotting wildfire smoke.
Public land
BLM and other public land, for finding free, legal places to camp. Pairs well with My Places.

Scrub the forecast in time

With a weather overlay on, a time slider appears under the map. Drag it to step through the forecast hours, and a marker travels along your route to show where you’ll be at that time — so you can line up the weather with the leg you’ll actually be driving.
