Title: Suggestion: Custom Local Radar Maps..
Post by: Zach on March 17, 2013, 05:36:06 PM

Hey Brian, I have a little suggestion.. is it at all possible for you to implement custom local radar map boundaries? Seeing how the Wunderground radar API makes this possible with their maxlon/maxlat and minlon/minlat strings, I thought it was a good idea :)

Here's some examples of custom maps I did:

State view
(http://api.wunderground.com/api/833538ce426046d7/radar/image.gif?timelabel=0&maxlon=-79.40918&maxlat=31.728167&minlon=-89.648437&minlat=24.287027&width=640&height=480&newmaps=1&timestamp=1)

Local view
(http://api.wunderground.com/api/833538ce426046d7/radar/image.gif?timelabel=0&maxlon=-81.809692&maxlat=28.376902&minlon=-83.084106&minlat=27.425414&width=640&height=480&newmaps=1&timestamp=1)

..or maybe even a neighborhood view
(http://api.wunderground.com/api/833538ce426046d7/radar/image.gif?timelabel=0&maxlat=28.109537&maxlon=-82.236786&minlat=27.92162&minlon=-82.521057&width=640&height=480&newmaps=1&timestamp=1)

The tool I used to determine the max and min longitude and latitude information was this little site: http://www.birdtheme.org/useful/googletool.html (http://www.birdtheme.org/useful/googletool.html)

It's just a suggestion, and if it's possible to implement this, I would love to see it! :D
