Was the outdoor activity forecast discontinued? I haven't seen it on my STAR in nearly a year, even after the traffic maps being discontinued. I still, however, see the schoolday forecast during the school year.

Maybe if Traffic Flow only was allowed to show up when Traffic Report is shown, then maybe you would be able to see OAF

Is the music randomization broken today? "Love of Strings" by Moby and "Oscillate Wildly" by The Smiths played today on WUWA. :huh: However, :18 had the morning Ryan Farish song.

Also, it seems 1:30 flavors have been shortened to 1:00 flavors today as part of Alex coverage.

So far it's 1 min flavors right now with the :08 and :38 lf's dropped. I also heard an overnight song, "Dreaming You" by Lynn Patrick at :58. :huh:

I've heard just 2 mornings and the rest were primetime and WUWA had normal music from the actual list, but dayparts were mixed up. :wacko:

Strange, there was a minor change to my IntelliStar today. Fort Dix on the radars and metro map have been replaced with "Joint Base MDL."

EDIT: Apparently Fort Dix became part of the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst last October...

Jesse, did you notice any change with McGuire AFB on your IntelliStar?

Is it me, or have the basemaps on the Sat LF changed a little? :unsure: First snapshot is from September 2008 and the second one is from May 2010.

My IntelliStar never had Fort Dix on the radar or Metro maps. McGuire AFB has never been on my radar. It is still on my metro maps though as "Mcguire AFB" (yes, the G is not capitalized).

Yes I do, I hated them at first but they warmed up to me. I especially liked the thunderstorm , blowing snow, wind, and rain icons.

The previous icon set was definitely more realistic than the current ones.
