2 weeks ago Another example yesterday. Approaching home airfield, with good connection 4G, the last sat picture was outdated (first image below). The former images were up to date. Closing Copilot App and opening it again, the last sat picture was good (second image below). So it was due to a problem in the App, not to a poor internet connection.
Sat picture from 18:30 local time (but dated 20:50 by Copilot)
Sat picture after reload (still dated 20:50 by Copilot, seems to the actual picture of 20:40 which is fairly up to date at 21:04)
Describe the bug One of the more useful features of Copilot App is showing the more recent weather satellite picture, even with slow internet connection. However, the picture may be outdated by several hours by respect to the indicated time, with no warning.
To Reproduce Select Copilot/Weather Satellite. The time indicated on top of the screen is the time of the last sat image available (about 15 minutes before the actual time). But when there is no internet connection, the image may be hours older, as can be checked after the flight comparing screenshots and real sat images (see Screenshots below)
Expected behavior The time indicated on Copilot screen should be the time of the sat image really on the screen
Possibly, there should be a color warning when the image is too old (say green when up to date, orange when 30 minutes old and red when 1 hour old or more). Similar to the green line around the time on the screenshots below, but bolder since it is difficult to notice in flight, or, better, a green/orange/red dot beside the time;
Screenshots Yesterday at 13:48 local time (11:48 UTC) the last sat image displayed in copilot was dated 13:35, but it actually was 2 hours old (11:40 loc)
Again, at 16:59, the Copilot image was supposed to be from 16:45, but it was the real image of 15:30
