Just updated one of my pages... it looks like to me that it's loading all the sites that I loaded before, in other words, it loads multiple radar sites. I thought I was going to have to only load one site and that's why I put it off for so long! YEA! Now I can get all of my Google radars going again!

Looks nice Steve. I just don't care for all the ground clutter on the google maps.

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #277 on:** November 01, 2012, 12:11:25 PM »

It would be nice to filter it out. On my GRLevel3 I created my own color tables to not display anything less than a certain dbz which gets rid of most of the clutter.

Hey Steve, great looking radar! One thing though, and this could be IE9 or something, but I cannot get your opacity to work. I click the button to change the percentage and it dosen't do anything to affect the radar image.

It works with FF 16

Yeah I wasn't trying to give you a hard time Steve, I just thought you might want to know, I mean I think your site is among the very best here on the forum

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #281 on:** November 01, 2012, 01:26:31 PM »

I think it has to do with IE. Seems like someone else mentioned that somewhere else here.
And thanks Fitz! I truly appreciate that!

Farmtalk · « **Reply #282 on:** November 01, 2012, 01:45:08 PM »

No problem! I think I am going to try and recreate this radar again myself

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #283 on:** November 01, 2012, 01:53:28 PM »

It took me all of 20 minutes or so to update 23 radars. Not bad.

..would love to able to filter out the morning fog in Florida.

When I get home I'll get a copy of the color table I did so you can see how it's done. The color tables are very easy to work with and modify.

Farmtalk · « **Reply #286 on:** November 02, 2012, 12:07:13 PM »

Could someone show me where the actual download for the radar is? I downloaded it one time before but I lost it when I wiped the com out and now I cant find it

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #287 on:** November 02, 2012, 12:16:26 PM »

You mean the images?

Farmtalk · « **Reply #288 on:** November 02, 2012, 01:02:21 PM »

Yeah I'm talking about the files themselves, like one was ridge.html, and there was like 2 more

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #289 on:** November 02, 2012, 01:13:14 PM »

I guess I'm not understanding.

Are you talking about a web page or are you talking about the individual images for the radar loops?

I simply go with this for the national version: http://radar.weather.gov/Conus/full_loop.php

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #291 on:** January 12, 2013, 08:00:00 AM »

I believe so.

CNYWeather · « **Reply #292 on:** January 17, 2013, 12:38:00 PM »

Maybe send a message to Danny at ELDoradoWx seeing as though he originally created this script.

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #293 on:** January 17, 2013, 12:42:56 PM »

I had him do that last night.

CNYWeather · « **Reply #294 on:** January 17, 2013, 01:51:46 PM »

Sorry about that guys.

I am totally confused. I would like to add a radar page to my site which is using my modified version of the Cumulus standard site. http://harwichweather.com. I have read this thread about 20 times. I have not downloaded any files yet because I don't know what I should download. For instance, I see I need ridge.js and radar.js....where are those? If someone would be kind enough to give me a quick jumpstart, I would be very grateful.

This is an old thread..
..the map code is written in Google Maps API v2 which is depreciated and scheduled to be turned off very soon..
(end of March I think)
..no sense in spending much time with this unless you just want to learn..
.. the code will not work too much longer..

I realize this an old thread but I remember reading, I believe from the original author, that even though API v2, will be deprecated, that you should upgrade to API v3. I see all these sites still running the radar pages, so what happens to them? I find it hard to believe with all these smart people on this board and elsewhere that overlaying NOAA radar on Google Maps is not possible. I have no idea how to do it, but I am great at cut and paste

DaculaWeather · « **Reply #298 on:** May 17, 2013, 09:38:34 AM »

OK guys... you might be ok with your radar scripts if you're using v2. All of my scripts are still working, and it appears may continue working. Assuming they are already sending the wrapped version, we may be fine.

Note: The Google Maps JavaScript API Version 2 was officially deprecated on May 19, 2010. The original deprecation period has been extended from May 19, 2013 until November 19, 2013. As of this date, all applications requesting v2 will be served a special, wrapped version of the v3 API instead. We expect this wrapped version of the API will work for most simple maps, but we strongly encourage you to migrate your code to version 3 of the Maps JavaScript API before this date.

where do i get these at???

2. Before the applet code you will see "form" code. You need to put the url links to your other radar types here. Put each radar type URL into the code where it says:
link-to-br1-radar-goes-here
link-to-cr-radar-goes-here
link-to-cr248-radar-goes-here
link-to-br248-radar-goes-here
link-to-ohr-radar-goes-here
link-to-thr-radar-goes-here
link-to-shr-radar-goes-here
