Each time new weather arrives, your map can play a short animation (rainbow, radar sweep, fade and others) before showing the new weather. You can switch them off, or keep only the ones you like.
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.

Turn the animations off or on #
- Open Transitional Wipes Settings.
- Set Use Transitional Wipes During FAA Data Updates to No to switch all animations off, or Yes to use them.

- With Yes, each animation below has its own number.
0switches that one off; a higher number plays it more times. Time Delay sets the speed (smaller is faster). - Use Random Colors lets the map pick the animation colours itself.
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.
