General Tips & Tricks
-
Hide or turning off the “Ski Runs” and “Skipolygons_Levels” layer and try again
-
Ensure the menu for these is expanded. You can tell by whether the arrows are pointing up (menu open, click to hide) or pointing down (menu closed, click to open)
-
Check your location settings and ensure that your web browser is allowed to view your location
-
If you rotate the map to a North-South orientation (quickest by pressing the compass button) you can work out which aspects face which way.
This is a great tool to use when the conditions are effecting certain aspects eg “grippy chalky snow on N aspects” or “fun spring slush on S facing slopes”.
-
If you don’t have a flaik, you can use the GPS locator to find out exactly where you are. Either describe the runs and intersections you are close to, or tap on the blue dot and it will bring up your GPS coordinates.
