Echo_of_thunder 1 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 I was sitting around tonight messing around with my page, and had a idea. I do not know if or how it could be done, but wow would it be cool if it could be. here is the idea.on a new page. have a google map of the USA. with 2 overlays. 1 being a weather radar showing any rain or snow.2 being a Satillite overlay to show any clouds or cold fronts. controls would have to be that you could change between the two of them, and then be able to click onto a rainy area and it would go to that area's local national weather service.I know the map can be done, but what about the overlays and the controls for it. I feel as if this can be done, and be easy to load and operate. it would really be something useful not only to me but to other weather buffs around the net. Yes taking a chance on someone running away with the idea but hey, what the heck lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Full map can be made easy enough with Google thing is the KLM files for radar and sat. Google Gagets does have one just far sats and I have seen one with the radar but also includes GPS tracking which I dont want. and that one was copy written. I am not a thef Just going to take me some time but I will figure all this out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
