Map view

Maybe I'm missing something in the learning center but after doing quite a bit of reading I can't seem to get any downloaded weather to show up on the map view. If I download real weather (static) and click OK, it will download the weather and then a map pops up and I can see all the weather systems and stations, I click OK and it loads the real weather. Back up in my cockpit I click on the map view and the 2 icons for weather systems and weather stations are greyed out. According to the learning center, the map should be able to show weather systems and fronts as well as each reporting station but I can't do much with the icons greyed out. What am I missing here?Tim
