Lat - Long Finder: This page helps you find Latitude and LongitudeHey JN, I went to Wunderground to look for my lat & lon and weather station, but where exactly do I go to find it? I tried looking under Maps & Radars and under Resources but can't seem to find it. Sorry, still a newbie with the radar links
SEE IF THIS HELPS.........02-23-11 12:39 PM - The Bellshare site has a BW forum with quite a few links to various radar maps. The instructions are farily straightforward. There's also a link to find your lat n lon coordinates for your location. After going over the instructions, I was able to make a custom link for puddin78, in just a few minutes. She wanted a map showing Des Moines, IA and Chicago, IL simultaneously.

I believe the Bellshare site does have good info; but it can be a little overwhelming for first-time users I think.

) are the key I think.
Thanks again BT and JN for all your help in finding some great custom links!
02-23-11 06:20 PM - The links that BT and JN posted on the previous page are definitely a good place to start I think. They are pretty general with nice overviews of the US.
If you want to get down to the nitty-gritty of customizing for your own area, as BT mentioned the Bellshare forum is great but I also found these 2 threads here at CB to be very helpful as well

It states that removing the "x" from "Severe" will turn on the county weather alerts. But that's not entirely true; you have to add "=1" after removing the "X". And the link has "showstorms=10" for severe storm tracking; it should be a 1 or 0, not both.Simple...only for BT lol!

I work about 70 hours a week. Helpin out in these little ways, is one of the few things I enjoy doing, that I actually get to do LOLAhh, no wonder sometimes the maps wouldn't show up.
