New map centre after panning:


WARNING: MARKER LOCATIONS ARE NOT EXACT! (but hopefully close...)


Marker Key:

Orange Marker = Observation     Green Marker = Observation and Webcam


How to use:
Panning - use the in-map arrow buttons, or click and drag with the mouse. (Double-clicking will re-centre the map on that location) After the map pans, the new lat/long at the centre of the map is displayed.

Zooming - use the in-map slide bar or +/- buttons to zoom in/out.

Satellite imagery - use the buttons in-map to toggle imagery on/off (imagery will slow down subsequent panning and zooming).

Preset Zooms - the "Select Preset Zoom" dropdown menu at top right will reload the page with a new map centre and zoom factor. After doing this, you can bookmark the page at your area of interest. If you want to bookmark a different place (other than in the menu), you can modify the URL with custom lat/long and zoom figures as in this example for Christchurch,

Corrections/Additions:
If you own/operate a weather station and would like to provide an accurate position, use the map to zoom right in then double click your location to pan the map and get an accurate lat/long. Send me your updated details via my contact form and I'll correct the marker location. Furthermore, if you'd like me to link to a different page and/or want some brief text in the pop-up, let me know!


Having trouble?
For browser support info, see Google's "System Requirements". I highly recommend Firefox, which is much faster than Internet Explorer for working with Google Maps.
