Troubleshooting

No webcam, or the wrong one

Why a place shows no camera or the wrong view, and how to choose a different one.

Why there's no webcam

  • No nearby camera's name names the place. Snowpace only picks a camera automatically when its name matches the place, so it never shows a neighbour's view as if it were this one. This is the most common reason.
  • There are no cameras on windy.com within 10 km of a downhill area, or 5 km of a nordic centre.
  • Webcams are switched off: Show webcams on the You tab.
  • No connection, or windy.com didn't answer. The section is left out until it can load.

When Snowpace hasn't picked a camera, there's no webcam section for that place, so there's currently no way to choose one yourself for it.

Choose a camera yourself

When a webcam is showing but it's the wrong view, tap Other cameras beside it. You'll see every usable camera nearby; tap one to make it the camera Snowpace shows for that place. Your choice is remembered and always wins. Best match goes back to Snowpace's pick.

A blank or old picture

  • Pictures are held in memory, not saved. If the phone has cleared them, the box is empty: tap Refresh.
  • At night it shows the Last daylight image, never a black frame. By day it says how recent the picture is.
  • Cameras sometimes stop updating; one that hasn't for 24 hours isn't used.
