Summary
Provide a map that shows the weather towers, with frequency information.
Details
NOAA weather tower information is available as waypoints in a GPX formatted file. There are existing tools which will take this file and create
markers in a
GoogleMaps map. There are a large number of towers so loading them all up into a map at once may not be performant. See the
hoosier-raam workspace for pointers to such things.
As a user travels or locates themselves on the map they should be able to find the nearest tower, get its frequency and tune their radio.
Constraints
- At a first pass a dynamic map is good enough, but for later uses, static maps, retrievable by URL the presents without will also be useful for devices that are not good with javascript (i.e. legacy phones).
