SAN-FRANCISCO, USA, July 14, 2004 - CustomWeather has added dozens of new, colorful contour weather maps to its map offering for all parts of the globe. These attractive maps are available with forecast data out to 7 days. Some of the new weather variables that can now be plotted through CustomWeather's easy-to-use OpenGIS®-based map server include high and low temperatures, humidity, precipitation, fire danger, UV index, wind speed, visibility, sunshine, dew point, and jet stream winds. CustomWeather has also added the ability to plot synoptic weather features for all portions of the world.

All of the new weather maps are available through CustomWeather's proprietary mapping system, which allows its clients to request custom maps with specified layers for any portion of the globe for a variety of forecast times over the next 7 days. Based on OpenGIS® standards, CustomWeather's mapping system also allows for the specification of metric or imperial units, image type, image size, bounding coordinates, as well as font type and size. The new contour weather maps are available in a pleasing array of colors.

"In the true spirit of CustomWeather, we have given control to our clients to request exactly the type of map that they are looking for along with the specific area that they want covered. Our new contour weather maps are available for resolutions as small as 1 kilometer for all portions of the world. Now, CustomWeather clients can create their own custom contour map in real-time or rely upon our wide selection of pre-generated maps'' said CustomWeather CEO, Geoff Flint.
