via Slack but putting here before I lose track

• Zoom level switch from AC to Avy. I would tend to start panning before it toggles to Avy. So maybe that could be adjusted to trigger sooner? I'd expect the AC logo to switch automatically as I pan over another center. This would help with centers like UAC or Information Exchanges.

• Currently there is no way to tell who you're over when looking at those without going to an external link

• If I click obs in GNFAC, then scroll over BTAC and click obs again, it brings me back to GNFAC. Maybe a "hover-over" switch of centers would avoid this potential confusion

• Regarding exchanges. The pop up box says "Forecast Available on Official Site." This would be more accurate if it said "Information."

We can add more identifying information for the unsupported center modal like a logo or a modal. I'm hesitant to have the unsupported centers show their logos in the header as if they were a supported center. The reason being is that we shouldn't really bring back the bottom tab bar for these centers/information exchanges because we can't show any other information so it would provide an inconsistent experience between seeing a center focused header, and what's possible to view in the app between centers

This is going to be an tough problem to fine tune how we go about switching centers automatically, or if we want to go down that route at all. We'll want to be careful that while a user is scrolling around the map, we're not constantly going from center focused to no center experience to center focused etc. That could be overwhelming for the user. However, I do agree that it could be confusing that we're not switching the centers automatically to the one you're looking at.

Smart. I think it could get kinda nuts as you pan quickly across the intermountain west. I think this is more of a forecaster issue. I dont think most users care what center they're looking at as long as they get the fx for the area they want to go. Andy had similar comments about center identification.

Lets refine once we get this into Preview. I want to update the (Claude) design system with the changes then ask it some questions
