Key notes

  • Users have reported Chrome for its performance issues while trying to access Wundermap because it has a habit of hogging system resources.
  • The accuracy of Wundermap weather predictions at any time might help you escape natural disasters.
  • When Chrome fails to load your Wundermap as expected, you might want to consider checking if your network is blocked.

There have been several complaints from users about Wundermap not working in Chrome, even though Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers in the world.

Although quite popular, it also has some flaws. For instance, Chrome has been widely known for its performance issues because it has a habit of hogging system resources, particularly memory which can sometimes cause an annoying lag.

Wundermap (Weather underground map) is a commercial weather service that provides real-time weather information over the Internet. It puts you in complete control of your weather information.

The interactive weather map on the Wundermap lets you access various weather information, including temperature, wind speed and direction, dew point and humidity, and precipitation.

You might have tried other weather stations such as; AccuWeather, The Weather Channel, Dark Sky, and some others, which are viable weather stations too, but in terms of getting access to specific weather stations, Wundermap is second to none.

You probably may be experiencing this same issue or someday will (not trying to be pessimistic, though). Not to worry, this article has prepared about three possible fixes should in case Wundermap fails to work in your Chrome.

What can I do if Wundermap is not working in Chrome?

1. Enable Hardware Acceleration in Chrome

  1. Press the Windows key, input Chrome, and launch it.
  2. Click on the three dots icon at the top right corner and select Settings from the options.
  3. Locate the Advanced tab on the left pane, expand it and choose System.
  4. Toggle Use hardware acceleration when available to enable it.
  5. Click to relaunch Chrome to effect the changes.

Mapbox, an essential component of Wundermap, might have been disabled, and to function well, Mapbox requires access by enabling the hardware acceleration when available on Chrome. Now try to reaccess your Wundermap after this; if the problem persists, you can try the next fix.

2. Check if your network is blocked on Chrome

  1. Press the Windows key, input Chrome, and launch it.
  2. Press the F12 key on your keyboard.
  3. Go to the Console tab and see if any network requests/resources are blocked.
  4. Press CTRL + H to open the history tab and clear browsing data.
  5. Select All time and check all three options of clearing the browsing history, Cookies, and Cache.

Some corrupt files on Chrome may block the network connection. Hence, it may cause Wundermap not to work on Chrome. However, once they are cleared, everything should function normally.

3. Reset Chrome to Default

  1. Press the Windows key, input Chrome, and launch it.
  2. Click on the three dots icon at the top right corner and select Settings from the options.
  3. Locate the Advanced tab on the left pane, expand it and Restore settings to their original defaults.
  4. Select Reset settings.

We believe that applying all the above fixes should sort out the issue of Wundermap not working on Chrome.

Nevertheless, try to access your Wundermap on other browsers we recommend if the problem persists. Alternatively, you can also uninstall and reinstall Chrome on your device as a last option.
