Colored METAR flags display when a METAR reporting station is matched with a
corresponding navigation database identifier.
When selected, the METAR is decoded and displayed above the original METAR text.
METARs are provided only in areas covered by the currently loaded navigation
database.
Tapping a METAR opens a detailed report.
