Love the new display format
This is a significant very helpful upgrade. Much easier to use.
Race car spelled backwards
Elevation data is wrong
I really like the layout of this app, but the weather points I am creating on the map are not displaying the correct altitude. They are generally a couple thousand feet lower than what I know the elevations to be. This is pretty concerning considering how big an impact this has on the weather forecast. Please fix!
