Radar other than US

[dave.t]

Hi
Great App!!
Just got it working after playing around with other skins.
Has anyone been able to get the radar images in Australia, Melbourne?
If not, can anyone point me in the right direction of what needs changing in the xml files.
Thanks
Dave

From the wiki:

Note1: Only US/Canada can receive radar maps.

I never really found a place that had radar images for any area outside the US/Canada. If you do, let me know and I'll consider adding it in a future release.

Hi scb147
Excellent work.
A radar image of Australia did come up using the new skin from

thread 47.
But it does not zoom into Melbourne.
I usually use this web address on my pc to look at the coming weather
http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR024.loop.shtml
It has a loop function that shows the weather moving.
This would be great.
If this adds to much work please don't even look at it. I know this takes a heap of time with certain projects.
Thanks again for all your efforts
Dave

The image in your linked thread is a satellite map, not a radar map. Satellite maps are available for all countries, but the US and Canada are the only ones to get radar maps.

You're second link is a radar map, but I'm not sure how feasible it would be to use it. I'll have to take some time to look at it and decide if it's something I want to tackle at the moment.
