Suggestion for Satellite Animation Optimization

Hello,

I have a small suggestion regarding the satellite animation feature.

When I play the satellite animation, it often needs to load the image before displaying it, which results in a short moment where nothing is visible. It would be great if the animation could preload or cache frames to allow a smoother playback experience.

Additionally, it would be helpful if pressing the play button could start the animation regardless of whether it is currently at the beginning or the end of the timeline.

I hope my explanation was clear, and thank you again for your great service!

Please send us a video. The previous frame should always remain visible until the new one is loaded (in the app).

Thank you! This looks like a connection speed issue. You need 5G speed for smooth animation. We currently don’t support preloading – it has its downsides too.

I understand! Are you planning to add the lightning layer to the real-time satellite view at some point? Thanks!

We’ll see.
