Hi there! I understand you're having trouble zooming out to see the global weather on MyRadar, and instead, it only shows a small area. To get started, can I ask if this issue started recently after an update or change? Also, are you trying to zoom out using the usual pinch gesture or zoom controls on your ChromeOS device?

In the meantime, here are some steps you can try that often help with similar zoom issues:

1. Reset the zoom level: Try double-tapping the map or use the zoom-out buttons (usually a “-” sign) if available to ensure it’s not stuck zoomed in.

2. Check app settings: Sometimes, MyRadar has a setting related to zoom behavior—look under settings > weather radar > see if there is any option related to “auto zoom” or “zoom out on weather” and make sure it's enabled.

3. Clear cache and app data: Since you’re on ChromeOS using the WebKit browser, you can clear browser cache and cookies for the MyRadar webpage/app to reset any corrupted settings.

4. Restart the app/browser: Close and reopen the app or browser tab to refresh the session.

5. Try toggling different map layers or views: Sometimes switching between map types can reset the zoom range—for example, toggling between radar, satellite, or roadmap views.

If you’ve tried these or similar steps already, please let me know, and we can dig deeper—maybe settings related to map markers or overlays are limiting your zoom range, as some users noted that pins and city markers can interfere with zooming out on MyRadar's interface.

Would you like me to guide you through these steps, or do you want to share more details on what you’ve already tried?

about 3 weeks ago it would zoom in and out now no workee..uninstalled and reinstalled..came up zoomed way out...double click and it zooms in but how do I get it to zoom out....no plus and minus symbols to click for that....as for clearcing cache how?

Thanks for the extra info! Since you mentioned you reinstalled MyRadar and it initially showed the zoomed-out view but now you can only zoom in by double-clicking without visible plus/minus zoom buttons, let's focus on how to zoom out on your ChromeOS device with WebKit browser.

Here’s what you can try step-by-step:

1. Zooming out with touchpad or keyboard:
- If you have a Chromebook touchpad, try placing two fingers on the touchpad and “pinching” them together (moving fingers closer), which is the usual gesture to zoom out.
- Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut: press Ctrl and the minus key (-) simultaneously to zoom out.

2. Check if zoom controls are hidden:
Sometimes the plus/minus zoom buttons on the map interface are hidden on certain browser versions or display sizes. Try resizing the browser window or toggling fullscreen mode to see if the controls appear.

3. Clear browser cache for MyRadar to reset settings:
Since you're using ChromeOS with WebKit browser, here's how to clear browser cache:
- Open the WebKit browser.
- Click the three-dot menu (⋮) in the top right corner.
- Click Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data.
- Select “Cached images and files” and “Cookies and other site data”, making sure the time range is set to “All time.”
- Click Clear data.
- Restart the browser and reload MyRadar to see if zoom controls or pinch-to-zoom functionality resumes normal behavior.

4. Try toggling layers or changing map types:
Sometimes switching between radar, satellite, or base maps resets zoom behavior. Try changing those options within the app or webpage.

If none of these restores the zoom-out control, it’s possible a recent update or browser compatibility issue changed the UI controls or gestures. In that case, feel free to share which version of the MyRadar app or web version you are using, so I can check for any reported issues or recommend contacting support at [email protected] directly for more advanced troubleshooting.

Let me know if you want me to walk you through any step in detail! How is this sounding so far?

step 1 nothing..step 2 how do I rfesize the browser>? and I though that a year or so ago it filled the whole screen??? am I wrong?? is the problem due to an update about 3 weeks ago?? or just on Chromebook?

Thanks for your questions! Let me help clarify and guide you through resizing your browser and what might be going on with the MyRadar app on your Chromebook.

1. Resizing your browser window on ChromeOS:
Since you’re using a WebKit-based browser on ChromeOS, you can resize the browser window by:
- If you are in fullscreen mode, press F11 or the fullscreen key on your Chromebook keyboard to exit fullscreen. The fullscreen mode usually hides the window frame.
- Once not in fullscreen, you can hover your mouse pointer at the edges or corners of the browser window until the cursor changes shape, then click and drag to resize it.
- Alternatively, if you have multiple windows open, dragging the browser window to the side or corner should “snap” it to a smaller size.
This resizing may help if the zoom controls are hidden due to screen size or layout.

2. Does MyRadar normally fill the whole screen on Chromebook?
MyRadar has historically tried to use the full screen space of the device or browser window you are in, so yes, it typically fills the whole screen by default. That said, changes in browser updates, app versions, or OS behavior could alter how much space it occupies or how the interface scales.

3. Is your zoom issue possibly related to a recent update?
Since you noticed the problem about 3 weeks ago, it’s plausible that a MyRadar app or web update around that time introduced some changes that affect zooming or display on Chromebooks. It’s also possible recent ChromeOS or browser updates changed how the app interacts with the system, impacting zoom controls or layout. I don’t see a specific widely reported bug about this in recent search data, but some app updates do adjust UI elements that could impact zoom experience1.

If the zoom-out controls or gestures worked before but stopped after that timeframe, it’s worth:
- Making sure your browser and the MyRadar app/web are fully up to date.
- Confirming whether this happens in other browsers or apps to see if it’s specific to the WebKit browser or ChromeOS version.

Would you like me to walk you through checking your browser and app versions, or try some alternate browsers to test? Also, if you can try exiting fullscreen and resizing the window now, let me know if the zoom buttons appear or zooming behavior changes. That’ll help narrow down the cause!

thanks mucho..I give up..cant even do what you said..no F11 key..good night from somewhere out there..

I totally understand—it can be tricky when the controls you expect just aren’t showing up, especially without familiar keys like F11 on your Chromebook. If you’d like, I can share a simple alternative that might help you zoom out on MyRadar without needing special keys or buttons:

- Try the two-finger pinch gesture on your Chromebook’s touchpad—placing two fingers on the touchpad and bringing them closer together usually triggers zoom out in most apps and browsers.
- If that’s not working, sometimes refreshing the page or restarting the browser after clearing cache helps restore zoom functions.

Since these options feel a bit complicated right now, if you're up for it later, MyRadar’s support page has more troubleshooting steps tailored for different devices including ChromeOS—here’s the link if you want to check it out when you’re ready: https://support.myradar.com/ [2]

For now, it’s perfectly okay to take a break—weather can wait! Just let me know anytime you want me to guide you through more steps or help contact their support team. Have a good night wherever you are out there!

Are you satisfied with this info for now, or would you like a quick step-by-step ready for when you feel up to trying again?

Is the MyRadar app fullscreen issue specific to Chromebooks?

Hi! You asked whether the MyRadar app fullscreen issue is specific to Chromebooks. From what I found, the fullscreen behavior on Chromebooks can be different compared to phones or traditional desktop OSes because of how ChromeOS manages app windows and fullscreen mode. Some apps, including MyRadar, may not be fully optimized to run in fullscreen or to fill the entire screen on Chromebooks by default1.

ChromeOS often uses a windowed interface where apps can be resized or "snapped," and not all apps behave like traditional fullscreen when you maximize them. Since MyRadar is primarily designed for mobile devices, it might not always scale perfectly on Chromebook screens or in all browsers you might use there.

There isn’t a widespread report specifically saying MyRadar has a fullscreen bug on Chromebook, but a combination of app design and Chromebook window management can result in it not filling the screen entirely or missing some fullscreen controls. Also, changing screen resolution temporarily or resizing the window can sometimes help get missing buttons or features to show up9.

If fullscreen display is critical for you on your Chromebook, trying different browsers (such as Chrome vs. WebKit) or checking for any recent app updates might help. Feel free to let me know if you want suggestions on alternative browsers or more detailed steps!

Does that help clarify the issue?
