Show Tracks option on LightningMaps.org
« on: August 29, 2013, 11:59:41 AM »
Does anyone know what these circles contain?
The xx km/h is obviously speed.
I am guessing that x.x /min is strike rate.
I am puzzled about what the percentage means though.

The smaller, lighter green circles have "+60" in them, is this the predicted location in an hour?

I'll attach a screen grab.

here's the poop from MyBlitzortung platform download:
Code: [Select]
/*******************************************************************/
/*** Calculate tracks                                            ***/
/*   WARNING: This is currently very expermintal.                  */

//scan time in minutes (set to 0 to disable tracks)
@define('BO_TRACKS_SCANTIME', 0);

//update tracks every x minutes
@define('BO_UP_INTVL_TRACKS', 5);

//divide the scantime into given intervals (minimum 2 for tracks)
@define('BO_TRACKS_DIVISOR',  2);

//kilometers
@define('BO_TRACKS_RADIUS_SEARCH_STRIKES', 10);
@define('BO_TRACKS_RADIUS_SEARCH_NGBR_CELLS', 30);
@define('BO_TRACKS_RADIUS_SEARCH_OLD_CELLS', 30);

//display of cells/tracks
@define('BO_TRACKS_MAP_OPACITY', 0.7);
@define('BO_TRACKS_MAP_ZOOM_MIN', 6);
@define('BO_TRACKS_MAP_ZOOM_MAX', 10);
@define('BO_TRACKS_MAP_ZOOM_INFO', 7);
@define('BO_TRACKS_MAP_TIME_FORCAST', 60);
@define('BO_TRACKS_MAP_MIN_STRIKES_DISPLAY', 10);
@define('BO_TRACKS_SHOW_UNTRACKED', false);
So if you can figure it from there, it'll help me. I've been beating my brains out setting this thing up at
http://frankfortweather.us/blitz/
and I'll activate Tracks tonight or tomorrow and see what it does...
