Finding your favorite spots just got a whole lot easier with our latest update for iOS and Android!
Effortless Navigation: Search Directly on the Map! We’ve seamlessly integrated the search function right into the map. Now, instead of using the search tab in the bottom bar, you’ll find the search box conveniently located in the top right corner of the map. This not only gives the bottom bar a sleeker, cleaner look, but it also displays your search results directly on the map for a more intuitive experience.
Bonus tip: Double-tap on “Map & Search” in the bottom bar to open the search directly.
No More Back and Forth: Introducing Split-Screen Mode
Our new Simplified Search lets you use the search function in split-screen mode. No more tedious switching between search results and the map – your results list stays visible while you navigate the map.
Enhanced Clarity and Easy Favoriting: Updated Markers and Labels! Plus, all markers and labels for spots and places are available on the map with updated markers for better clarity.
You can even make a spot your favorite directly from the map by tapping the star symbol in the pop-up.
Hide or Show: Customize Your Map Experience! To enhance navigation and clarity, we’ve added options to the map menu that let you hide or show labels and favorites. Spots are now available as separate settings alongside webcams and measurement markers.
Simplified Search is now available for iOS and Android.

An improvement whose time has come We always aim to keep the layout of the app as simple as possible. Consequently, separating the weather map and the search made sense.
But as we have been adding more features, there are many cases where it would be practical to have a search option available in the weather map and vice versa.
Therefore, all search functions and features are combined into the wind map. We’re also updating the map menu with more display options so that you can adjust the look and feel of the map according to your needs and preferences.
What changes
Search on map We are adding a new button in the top right corner of the map view. Tapping this button toggles the search – simple, isn’t it?
Search results will be displayed as a list, just like before. Tap a search result to reveal its location on the map or to jump directly to weather forecasts and measurement data.
Labels and markers for places, favorites, and Windfinder spots All markers and labels for spots and places will be available on the map. In addition, the markers are adjusted for simplification and a better overview.
We are adding options to hide (or show) these spots, places, and favorites to the map menu. This way, the map is always as dense or lightweight as you want.
New bottom bar navigation We have designed the new navigation symbol to communicate that search and map have been combined.
What doesn’t change
Everything else remains the way you know it.
When it is available
Very soon.
Thanks for reading! As usual, we welcome your feedback or any suggestions you may have to make the Windfinder app better. You can reach us by simply sending an email to support@windfinder.com or using the feedback option in the app. We look forward to hearing from you!
Our latest feature provides you with comprehensive severe weather warnings for Europe and the U.S. - based on reports from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Meteoalarm, a network of European national weather services.
In case of a predicted event for your selected spot, a preview warning will be displayed on the spot page or forecast screen. By clicking or tapping on the warning, you will get a detailed description of the event and its impact, including instructions on how to stay safe during this hazard.
The warnings are structured in a multi-level system. Hazard icons indicate the type of severe weather, while the intensity of the event is indicated with a color code ranging from gray (minor) to red (devastating).
If multiple warnings are displayed for one location, the most recent or the one with the highest warning level always applies!
Be prepared at all times and take the necessary precautions with Windfinder’s latest feature!
Out now for Android, iOs (Windfinder Free/Plus) and web.
