About Weatherzone Radar
Distance and latitude/longitude coordinates are displayed when you mouse over the map. The
origin for distance measuring is indicated by a red dot and defaults to either your location, if specified and in range, or the location
of the radar/the centre of the map. The origin may be changed by clicking elsewhere on the map.
The colours and symbols used on the radar and satellite maps are described on our legend page. View legend »
