is there anyway to have the sensor dot on the map show just green or just yellow or just orange etc instead of gradations of color? I find it helpful to look at an area and would like to see how the air is doing. for example a high number in a zone, say orange, looks like red. I understand what you are trying to do, but I’d like the option to see the “hard” colors on a map.

Hi @jim, I have moved this topic into the “Feature Requests” category. We appreciate the feedback and idea and will look into its future implementation on the PurpleAir map.
