Topic: WU - Let us know your issues

[Mtnviper]

Hmm.   Thanks for that data point.   That should not matter, but it is possible that something in the rapidfire payload is messing up sending to our geospatial server.  Everything else seems to work fine...

From testing with my Meteobridge uploading to WU every 30 seconds causes station to disappear from Wundermap. Changing WU upload to every 1 minute and you almost instantly show back up on Wundermap.

I can confirm this.  I use Meteobridge and changed upload from every 5 seconds to every minute and that put me back on the Wundermap. I would rather upload every 5 seconds.

All,

rapidfire stations now appear on the map!
I know we aren't able to be as responsive as you like to all of these issues, but i hope you can be patient with us, our small team is dedicated to making sure that the products we continue to offer work as you expect them to.

Some other things.  You may have noticed the station views counter went away.  This has always been broken.  It was a sort of fun project for one of our engineers years ago, and it never really consistently worked right.  It will not appear on the new version of the PWS page, so now that it is broken, we have decided to remove it.

Thanks for fixing the map problem and letting us know about the removal of the counter.  I’m looking forward to seeing the new version of the PWS page.

I think WU did the right thing to remove the count function—it was unreliable and not sure it provided any useful information. It was kinda fun while it lasted though!

Thanks so much for taking care of this.  My station is back on the WunderMap.

Much appreciated!

Thank you for fixing rapid fire. I can live without the visit counter.

I too am back on the WunderMap. What is the criteria for a particular station to appear based on different zoom settings?  My station does not appear until I zoom in one notch.

From my experience I think it is luck and random depending on where you start on the map and depending on how many neighbors you have and how close they are. On the other older map the stations with earliest 1st online date (longest history) took precedence. On the current map it kinda seems like mixed results. Definitely not weather data quality related.

I know this is a case by case issue. Still NOT on any map. Can you please take a look????

For a long time now when I try to save the Wundermap with the dark map option it never saves it. It always goes back to terrain. I use the save pref button and it says saved but it never does.
Any ideas?

You mean we're going to be stuck with that ridiculous "wundermap" and nothing else?  Are you going to fix it so it saves preferences such center, zoom levels, etc?  Because right now it is unusable.

[SlowModem]

I read in another thread where WU had done away with API which is needed for Alexa skill.  Without going back through pages of conversation, is there a away to get my PWS going to WU on Alexa anytime in the future?

Thanks

I can confirm that online date hasn't any bearing. In my area KWAREDMO I am 131 and don't show at 1x, yet stations around me (182, 207) show up just fine. I'll just write it off to WUFUBAR.

[raul_sbd]

Could you please check why my webcam is not showing on wunderground app map but shows fine on the browser on pc? My station is is ISALE43 and the webcam name is raulsbdcam4

Many thanks

Perhaps WU staff could now look at why the map double loads. It appears then goes blank then loads again.

Just for fun I set up an IFTTT Applelet that tells Alexa to set my smart lights a certain color according to the weather. The function works just fine. The Applelet will ask me if I want to view on WU. When I go to weather underground it takes me to my PWS in browser (not the app) and my station is there but not on the small map. See 2 attached screen captures. Further when I open the WU APP - see 1 attached screen capture - my station is there but Not on the map. So it looks like to me - WU needs to fix far more than just Wundermap. Our androids and iphones are relying on APPS and phone versions of websites. This is primarily what people use these days.

Hi Folks

Apologies for drifting away from this thread.  Ben has as many of you noticed left the company.  I'm not sure who sean is.  No one by that name has been at WU for a while.

Anyway.  I'm looking into why some stations that should be appearing on the wundermap are not.  Specifically ISTOCKPO4 is confusing me.    Hopefully we'll have this resolved soon.

When you have a moment, could you touch on this question I had from another thread?

I've had a PWS on Wunderground reporting for about a year now. New guy popped up a week ago a couple of blocks over - he needs to get off my turf! (no no, it's very exciting and good for the community). Anyway, on the map his PWS circle overlaps mine, and his is the "full circle" on top. Zoom out, and I'm completely covered! How does this work? I call seniority!

Also - there is another weather station that put their icon near mine, while their location is 5-10 miles away. Their temperatures are frequently different from the rest of ours on the map because of this. Does reporting the bad data actually do anything? Any other way to get the location moved to be accurate?

Several days ago WU resolved the issue with local PWS visibility and access via WunderMap which now appears to be working normally again.  My WebCam link on WunderMap works in all browsers except Chrome, so I can't blame WU for the WunderMap webcam link's dysfunction in Chrome.  Rather, Chrome appears to be the culprit.

  Don't forget to login by clicking on the three horizontal bars in the upper right corner of WunderMap.  This will enable you to personalize your view of the WunderMap by clicking on 'Save Prefs', which does indeed just that.  Naturally as a contributor to WU your account will be ad-free once you've logged in.
