Gabba I am having enough trouble trying to keep map small but retain clarity as it is. Now you want me to remove some of the colour as well.......  sigh....   ::)

lol Gabba.

How difficult would it be to provide an option for the spots - maybe a tick box. Isn't what's provided on the second post available on the OpenWeatherMap (OWM) site, so maybe the default view could be the one with the spots and the option would just pull in the map from the OWM site?

Hi Gabba,

These are only screenshots of a much larger picture as you know.
Like weatherzone etc they are non interactive.
We already have a live map with all current conditions on it.
I was more looking for our own forecast map as opposed to using weather zone and the metservice.
Like producing our own work and not leeching graphs from other weather sites.

You have the beta link Gabba, have a play and post how you would like to see it.

Cheers
