I have recently come across a site with Awesome Maps and Weather radar. The site is Windy.com and they offer a Free API and also will generate an embedded widget displaying any location on the map. Is there a php script available which can be modified to display this "widget?" For example: It says... Embed this HTML code in your page. <iframe width="650" height="450" src="https://embed.windy.com/embed2.html?lat=25.912&lon=-80.397&zoom=9&level=surface&overlay=radar&menu=&message=true&marker=&calendar=&pressure=&type=map&location=coordinates&detail=&detailLat=25.912&detailLon=-80.397&metricWind=default&metricTemp=default&radarRange=-1 (https://embed.windy.com/embed2.html?lat=25.912&lon=-80.397&zoom=9&level=surface&overlay=radar&menu=&message=true&marker=&calendar=&pressure=&type=map&location=coordinates&detail=&detailLat=25.912&detailLon=-80.397&metricWind=default&metricTemp=default&radarRange=-1)" frameborder="0"></iframe>
This is a "snapshot" of the larger map I would like to display for example. I have setup an "External Link" to the widget on my site Parkviewx.com but it is a crude display without any frames or menus.
If anyone can provide a solution I would be so grateful.. I'm sure it would be very popular as the graphics are some of the highest resolution maps and radar I have ever seen.
Thanks for your consideration...

You mean like this?
I've been using Windy to show wind forecast on my Saratoga Template site for quite some time. I just use the embed code provided by Windy, added it to a new page, and then added that page to the menu system.

Should work the same way for the map you want to display on your site.
Cheers!
