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 #
- On a phone or computer that is on the same WiFi as your map, open a web browser.
- Go to
http://<map name>.local(the name you wrote down during the WiFi setup) orhttp://<IP address>, for examplehttp://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.localnames; use the IP address there. - In the menu at the top, move the mouse over Settings and click Editor.

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

Change a colour #
- Open LED Colors Settings.
- Click the colour box next to the setting you want and pick a new colour.

- 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.
- The weather effects have two colours each (for example Rain1 and Rain2); the LED switches between them to make the effect visible.

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

- 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.
