The New Interactive Wundermap

Posted by: JimNickerson, 10:21 PM GMT on December 18, 2012

I think when The Weather Channel TWCC bought Wunderground these changes started to happen.
The old Interactive Wundermap worked well to watch an approaching storm. It was responsive and a joy to use. The New Improved version is not intuitive and a pain to use. The playback head ( the little arrow ) moves across the entire width of the screen above the entire time line yet the time playing is not the entire time line. It is no longer possible ( or I have not figured out how ) to watch the last 30 minutes to judge when the storm will pass overhead. I see no way to control the interval between individual frames. At least when introducing the new improved version with lots of neat new data Wunderground/TWCC could leave a link to the old tried and true version available. I am seriously considering delivering my weather data elsewhere.

I too am very disgusted with the new map. I loved the old version better too. I have passed the "old link" to many of my friends and they HATE the new map too! Please offer a link to use the older version. Member Since: February 10, 2010 Posts: 0 Comments: 0
