FYI, I lost maps for Nashville, TN as well. I suspected that the map pages you draw from have changed and find that confirmed here. In troubleshooting the problem, I tried several different states and cities with no maps found. It may be deeper than just a few maps?

Anyhow, I look forward to the update. This program has become important to me daily. It rocks and I miss it working.-jg

To Sysyphus' Sister and others:

I've gotten some sporatic reports of 404s due to NOAA changing it's site structure. I've checked sites in NY CA, and WA, and they are fine, but I believe you that there are sites that are changed. With your indulgence, what I intend to do is not just fix the widget, but make it better. I intend to refresh the UI to Photo Ace! standards, and add RIDGE radar data from NOAA, with 8 layers of information. My real life workload is a bit heavy right now, so expect a V2 in a couple to several weeks. Thanks for your understanding.

As of 2/22--now receiving error message "unable to fetch map index. Response = 404. Could not load URL". Any ideas?

Upon close and reload, same error message appears. Using vers 1.3 on WIN XP Pro SP2 with all patches.

THANKS!

Hi wholegrain!

Didn't know about the Ridge radar stuff until now, when I took a look. My first impression is that this should be a new widget. [rubs hands together and grunts] I also have to check the ability of Konfabulator to handle this, as the images presented from NOAA are supposed to be layered on top of one another (the images themselves appear to be GIF overlays). Have to check the ability of Konfabulator to handle that. And I suspect that you're looking to have a mouse ove…r that gives you the ability to set a location and report distance and direction from that location [more grunting]. Looks interesting. Let me give it some thought. If I haven't captured your wants and desires, please write me at howard.deiner@deinersoft.com and let me know... More

I love this widget! Being a weather fanatic, it really helps me get my fix. If it's not too much to ask, I'd love to see it use the new Ridge radar GIS info from the NOAA. Again, thanks for a great widget!
