I like to use the WMSradar map when the weather get rough out here, but I have
a slight problem with it -- I don't see any landmarks, towns, etc. I see
other APRS stations on the map, and unless I can see one that I recognize, I
have no way of knowing where the cells are. Is there a way to add, say,
Tiger maps at a low level to the weather maps?
Yes, that's what I do with USRadar.geo. Place tigermap.geo at a low
level, say 10, and the radar at a higher level, say 50.
If you're using the kubuntu repository version of xastir, you'll have to
edit the radar .geo file to set the transparent falue to black instead of
white, or you won't see the tiger map underneath it. That seems to be
fixed in the latest stable tarball.
