How to change the LED colors

Every colour on your map can be changed: the four flight categories, the colour for airports without weather (INVALID) and the colours of the weather effects.

Open your map’s settings #

  1. On a phone or computer that is on the same WiFi as your map, open a web browser.
  2. Go to http://<map name>.local (the name you wrote down during the WiFi setup) or http://<IP address>, for example http://192.168.1.50. If you don’t know the IP address, see how to find the IP address of your PilotMap. Some Android phones can’t open .local names; use the IP address there.
  3. In the menu at the top, move the mouse over Settings and click Editor.

  4. Click a blue bar to open that group of settings.

  3. The flight categories are VFR, MVFR, IFR and LIFR. No Weather Reported is the colour of airports that don’t report weather; it is also the colour of the INVALID LED in your legend.
  4. The weather effects have two colours each (for example Rain1 and Rain2); the LED switches between them to make the effect visible.

Save #

  1. In the menu at the top, move the mouse over Settings and click Save Config File. You will see Settings Successfully Saved.

  2. That’s it. The map restarts its weather display by itself and shows the new setting within a minute or two. While it restarts, the legend may show all green for a moment (that is the normal “starting” status). You don’t need to unplug it.

Tip: changes are only kept after Save Config File. If you close the page before saving, nothing changes.

Tip: the printed legend on your map shows the standard colours. If you change the flight category colours, the legend LEDs change with them, but the printed labels stay the same.
