Display Wildfire Layer
To display the wildfire layer:
- Tap on the Map Settings button on the top menu.
- Under Map Overlay Layers, click on Weather Layers.
- You will see three toggle options- Radar, Windspeed, and Wildfires. Toggle Wildfires on.
Once turned on, icons with a fire in the center will appear on the map in every area we have current data on wildfires. If you click on one of those icons, a popup will appear.
Depending on the information we have available, the popup will give you: the fire's name, the containment percentage, the number of acres burned, when the fire was first reported, and when the last update came through.
Note: These fire warnings are meant to give you an idea of what hazards might exist during your trip, but you should always contact local authorities to make sure you have the newest information if it appears a fire may pose a threat to your intended route.
