"The new user interface makes switching between different data layers and using the map settings even more intuitive." "WunderMap® is the ultimate online resource for in-depth weather information and its many data layers provide users with an unrivalled interactive experience," said Alan Steremberg, President and co-founder of Weather Underground. Each layer option has its own settings menu that allows the user to fine-tune the data they are viewing. The new user interface has been designed to keep the navigation process as simple as possible while also presenting the vast amount of data that users can overlay on the map. WunderMap® uses the latest Google Maps API so that users can zoom in to a local level and view Weather Underground's unique network of neighborhood weather stations or zoom out to view weather patterns as they affect a region or continent. The map can also look into the future and display forecasted weather conditions for up to 10 days, including 6 hours of radar. Archived radar spans back to 1994 while significant tornadoes can be tracked back as far as 1950. Users can set specific dates back in time or use the search function to view historically significant storms such as Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Sandy.
