SAN FRANCISCO, CA - October 6, 2003 – CustomWeather, the leading supplier of syndicated weather data, has launched a new premium map service that allows for complete customization of weather maps. The map service operates through a http interface and is OpenGIS®-based. This advanced service allows businesses to customize maps to include specific weather variables, map layers, bounding coordinates, and geographic features that meet their needs. Customers can choose from a wide array of weather overlays including satellite imagery, Doppler radar, current conditions, weather forecasts, severe weather alerts, hurricanes, and more. CustomWeather’s map service even gives clients the ability to specify map labels, 3-D effects, font sizes, map type, city display, and map projection.

“Our new map query service is truly remarkable in its ability to bring control to the client. On the fly, clients can now request a weather map that meets their exact specifications and level of detail. We can even deliver weather map layers that a client can choose to project on their own map or overlay on our base maps.  We can deliver the layers in virtually any format including jpg, gif, tiff, and png” said Geoff Flint, CEO of CustomWeather, Inc..

CustomWeather’s weather map layers are complemented with a new set of industry-leading base maps from Lunarsoft, Inc. that feature colorful topography, vegetation, and sea floor bathymetry.
