The two lows back-to-back between Ireland and Iceland show clearly in METOP pass and in Bracknell 1200 chart. But not really to be seen in Met-9 - just a hint...
Hi Robert, An RSS animation shows that they didn't merge. The northern low headed for the coast of Iceland and the southern low seems to have petered out in ch...
Alan what channels did you have set for your RSS animation - was it ch02 only? You obviously had a much better view than mine - I vaguely saw the petering out...

All, I've always been quite good at map reading (geography being one of my better subjects at school - all those years ago) so I've never felt the need for a...
John, I think you have the blame misdirected! Satnavs do not 'divert lorries onto unsuitable routes', their drivers do. A satnav needs to be used with a good...
Hi John, For me, Satnavs have been a real blessing, especially when driving trucks, doing Aid work etc. If you take time to understand them and use them...

Try driving in Japan using their satnav. There is a sheet of paper in English telling you how to do simple things like set the destination. You can put in map...
I was really puzzled by the satnavs in Japan because they seemed to direct taxi drivers to an exact address - they punched in house numbers or the names of...
John, I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but is it not possible to set up
your GPS unit as to roads preference? I'm thinking here of my 'Autoroute' map...
Robert, As you say the streets are totally cluttered with cables and such on overhead poles and some are very narrow. The satnav database is excellent in that...
It's currently 36.3c degrees in the shade here in Sunny Bulgaria, too hot for me.Could do with some of that nice cool refreshing rain from UK. The lawn has...
Obviously these twerps that did the "research" have never seen some of the even bigger twerps that drive the trucks! I would guess that most of the problems...

I'm afraid it doesn't work. WXtoImg relies on the timestamp of the received WAV file to organise the map' and with it land/sea colouring and country outlines....
