>So why am I mentioning this to a Weather group ? Well, I had an idea to do a
>version of this for North American weather enthusiasts, so before starting,
>I thought I'd ask what layers and features you would like to see in a North
>American Weather map-suite ??
>
>I'd certainly use the borders and boundaries from NWS, such as County
>Warning Area Boundaries, Public Zone Boundaries, Coastal and Offshore Marine
>Zones, Transcribed Weather Broadcast Text Product Routes, Fire Weather Zone
>Boundaries, Coastal and Offshore Marine Zones.
>
>I already have States, Counties, Time Zones, UTM Zones, Satellite photos,
