Little bit of feedback, signing up now and don't like that passwords have to be alphanumerical and can't contain symbols.

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware of that limitation and I can't really think of a valid reason for it. I'll make sure that gets fixed.

I had the same reaction as lightmaster. Let us know when we can change our passwords.

This is now fixed. Passwords can be changed here if you've already signed up:

I'm still not 100% sure why this limitation was in place but I went ahead and removed it myself instead of waiting on someone to get to it tomorrow or on Monday.

I would like to beta test
Sure thing. Just visit the site and signup for an account. It's all free at the moment. No credit card or anything like that required.

The biggest thing I'd like to see are the fronts and pressure systems on a surface map. This would sell me faster than most anything. I need that on a map when presenting to the public. Thanks.

Those two features are definitely on our list. At the moment we're working on custom city labels and storm tracks as those have been requested the most. After those two are complete we'll likely start on fronts and then keep moving down our to-do list.

I haven't been posting feature updates here for a while but we've had numerous people request this one and I know some are following this thread.

After a lots of testing we have finally enabled storm data for everyone. There's a more detailed post on the Meteo Maps forum but this is what the new feature looks like:

Next on our list is "overlay layers" which will include items like fronts, pressure lines, etc. This one will likely take a couple of weeks due to the complexity.

Hi All,

Our surface analysis data layer is now available. While this is a map that we wanted to offer, it's apparently not a map that is hugely popular. Even AccuWeather did away with theirs:
https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-blogs/weathermatrix/the-demise-of-the-surface-weather-frontal-map/70000589

We talked with a few of the people we consult with and the general consensus was that traditional surface maps can be too complex for "at a glance" viewing. With this in mind, we decided to create a less complex surface analysis map that will hopefully be more inviting.  As always, we love feedback. We also know that this map might need to be tweaked. So consider this "version 1".

Hi All,

We're working on a complete overhaul for our meteomaps.com service. We're to the point where we need to start switching aspects of the system from the old software and hardware to the new software and hardware.

Any maps currently configured and in use by users will remain active during the transition. However, the admin panel will be in a state of limbo for a bit and creating new maps will not be possible. We're hoping to have everything completed by the end of May.

Hi All,

For once for us, things are actually going to plan. We're well on our way having the overhaul complete by the end of this month.

At this point, the new admin panel is online and the service is quite usable. Please feel free to sign in and give it a try. Again, we're not charging at the moment. So it's all free to check out.

That was the case for the past couple of years. However, Meteomaps has recently been transferred to a new owner and I have no knowledge of their future plans for the site.
