The addition of simple light (white with black outline) and simple dark (dark grey with white outline) Map Views would help readability significantly. Similar to the Simple light and simple dark base maps on aviationweather.gov. image attached.

Hi Cyrus, thanks for reaching out with this request. We do currently have 'Basic' map view available on both web and mobile that is close to one case you've mentioned; can you elaborate on the shortcomings of this - is it because the water is not also white?
I'll look at what options we have for darker layers - can you share more about the situations where these would be used to help me better understand the need?
