FAQ

What does the lightning map show?

The map helps you follow live lightning and thunderstorm activity from the connected lightning layer.

Are the lightning points created by Radar Tracker?

No. Radar Tracker does not create fake lightning markers. The view comes from the external lightning data source.

Why are there no lightning strikes visible sometimes?

There may be no recent lightning activity in the selected area, or the external live layer may update with a short delay.

Is this safe enough for outdoor decisions?

No. Use the map for orientation only. If thunder is nearby, seek shelter and follow official weather warnings.

What is the difference between Region, Global and continents?

Region focuses on the language-specific country, Global shows the world, and the continent buttons zoom to broader areas.

Why does the map open in Satellite by default?

Satellite gives users a clearer geographic overview and matches the standard layout of the new Radar Tracker maps.
