The 3D weather map renders aviation hazards in three dimensions so you can explore conditions the way they actually stack up in the atmosphere. Pilot reports and advisories are positioned at their true altitudes, and you can rotate, tilt, and filter by flight level to understand turbulence and other hazards in space — not just on a flat plane.
Right-click and drag to rotate and tilt the view, use the camera presets for quick angles, and adjust altitude exaggeration to make vertical layering easier to read. For a traditional top-down view, the standard interactive map covers the same data.
The 2D map shows advisories on a flat plan view. The 3D map places the same pilot reports, SIGMETs, G-AIRMETs, and CWAs at their real altitudes, so you can see whether a hazard sits below, at, or above a given flight level — something a flat map cannot convey.
Vertical distances are tiny compared with the width of the country, so without exaggeration everything would look flat. The altitude exaggeration control stretches the vertical scale to make the layering of advisories easy to see. It is a visualization aid and does not change the underlying data.
The 3D map uses WebGL and is still being refined for performance and device compatibility. The weather data itself is the same trusted feed used across Flight Chop; the Beta label refers to the visualization, not the data.
