Exclamation Map and Satellite Navigation

Just a quick recap on the most efficient way to navigate the forecast maps and satellite images.

Maps:
The buttons 1d, 6h, 3h and 1h either sides of the NOW button will increment or decrement the time on the map viewport by the time value of the button.

If you need to view a large range of maps don't click repeatidely the 1h button. Click on 3h, 6h or 1d to move forward or just play the animation and hold the mouse down (or your finger) on the map. This will pause the animation. Dragging your mouse or finger left and right will change the map time much faster without running the risk of being flagged as an automated bot or spider.

Satellite:
The buttons 2h, 4h, and 6h will not change the time on the satellite viewport so there is no point clicking them repeatidely. They only set the time range for the animation playback. Again, once the animation is playing you can drag the image to pause, fast forward or rewind.

Hope this clears any confusion.
Thank you.

PS: Another way to visualise all maps within a given time range is to click the "flat layout" icon top right under the moon/star icon. That will display all the maps you want to view in one screen that you can pan or zoom.
