Just a heads up...

there are now several current weather maps available. Please check 'em out and let us know if there are any problems.

BTW, thanks to +ronusmc for the weather map idea!

Have tried out the Weather Map site Ben, West US Color enhanced downloaded VG but very "slow". Looked like a huge front from Mexico across to almost New York.. What height would that Satelite be??

Greetings Andy:

Yes, the color maps are big (e.g. slow downloads). The other maps are considerably faster.

I don't know what height that sat's at, but as far as I know they're all pretty much stationed about the same altitude, and the difference in coverage depends on the "lens" selected. If you keep watching these maps over a period of time, you'll notice that they're not always the same.

Hmmm, would there be any chance of getting any other weather maps, such as ones for Europe, and Asia up there?

It's possible if we can find some agency that provides them for free or we'll only be able to support links to that site.

I'll ask around, but if you know of any that will fit the bill, please let me know.

OK, I've added some links to weather maps from around the world. If I missed any place you'd like to see, please let me know.
