CustomWeather® launches OpenGIS®-based Worldwide Contour Mapping

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.
