[Weather Today/ Live satellite map/ Measured temperatures ] Too big label margins hide temperatures
-
I'm curious how much it depends on metoblue or map supplier but label margins are too big
This is a temperature map, so a small black dot for the town location should not block displaying temperature, especially when towns are areas, not dots. Often I have to click 4 times because with bigger zoom new labels appear.
On bigger zoom temperatures on the temperature map should have priority, also above location name. I guess most users know map well, so they can point a neighbourhood or a village without labels in their area. If you can't decrease label margin I'll be grateful for an option to switch off labels.
Temperature locations do not change often, so another option would be calculating optimal label locations from time to time, at least for coast locations, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the effort. QGIS does automatic labelling very well, so algorithms used in QGIS could be an inspiration. -

meteoblue maps use background maps and labels provided by third-party suppliers, which limits our ability to control label placement and margins directly. Large margins around town names and small markers can sometimes obscure temperature values, particularly in densely populated or coastal areas. Currently, there is no option to hide or toggle map labels, but zooming in can help reveal obscured temperature information.
The language and content of map labels depend on the map supplier and zoom level, with limited possibilities for modification on our side. We hope we were able to answer your questions and wish you pleasant weather with meteoblue.
