Rollout of HD-style maps on the satellite LF
« on: May 21, 2008, 01:18:25 PM »
Well folks, in a surprise move, TWC started rolling out the new HD-style maps for the SD satellite LF this morning during Day Planner. I must say, the new maps are a nice fresh change to the somewhat stale appearance of the satellite LF. The Intellistar could really use this package.

Videos to come later.

And the SD IS still looks like ****.

SD IS now definitely needs an update.

It's about time they changed the SD LF graphics. I believe the IS will receive another graphical update on the June 2nd relaunch. I saw it somewhere in the forums.

Oh, I like that new layout! B) The maps look the same to me, though.

I'm curious to see how the IS looks too. Does anyone like the new satellite graphics?

I was hoping the radar maps get updated too...

I like the new version of the satellite.

NOTE: The Severe/Thunderstorms Watches pages still has the old title bar. <_<

Wow, TWC didn't ruin my favorite part of their LF! Now Thunder can still produce quality videos with pride!

Only nitpick is that the yellow coloring in the satellite imagery is awkward.
