Title: [MAP Overlay] Open Weather Map forecasts
Post by: brotbuexe on May 29, 2013, 14:08:45
http://openweathermap.org (http://openweathermap.org)

Layers for Clouds, Precipitation, Rain and Snow.

Unpack the xml in the zip to locus/mapsOnline/custom. Close Locus, Reopen Locus, you will have "OpenWeatherMap" entries.
To get actual tiles you should set the "valid for" for the layers in the maps selector.

if you find the god mode you can just change the weather by swiping the clouds off the screen.

hey, amazing site. Seems to be Free to use, so why handle with XML files when it should be included in Locus directly? Or can't? have to check :)

EDIT: ah damn ... http://openweathermap.org/hugemaps (http://openweathermap.org/hugemaps) .. seems I have to finally improve "Maps overlay" function
