The GHCCsat program (freeware) is very good at extracting a user defind satellite sector from the GHCC site and building a jpeg picture file. Possible this could be used for overlays.

&quot wrote:Wally, if you have an auto script to go with the maps that would be nice to include.

Here is te best solution I've found for getting the LATEST maps automatically:

Using a freeware utility fron GNU called wget and s short windows batch file, get the images, then the last line in the file calles DAWS wit the script I run to process and generate images. I fire off the batch file from Windows Scheduler at H+10 minutes every hour and the last line of the DAWS Script is a QUIT to end the whole thing.

You can find WGET at: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gnuw ... e?download

MY script is as follows and has been running here with no hiccups 24/7 since Friday 8/4:

Wally:

Any chance you or someone else has managed to get basemaps for the 3 listed above: West, NE Pacific or NW Atlantic Overviews that would just about complete what I need to have here and I'd be happy to provide the MS DOS script file with WGETS to pull them down similar to what I've jsut posted for the rest.

Looking at the GHCC site instructions it seems possible a script could be produced for DA.

Well, for the NW Atlantic - it is the one I labeled North Atlantic in my list of maps:
http://www.weatherroanoke.com/daws
(Perhaps I should relabel it NW Atlantic to be consistent w/the Navy label)

OK. Got it, Thanks!

Eastern Pacific

This isn't the same map as the one on the NexSat site, but is still from the NRL.

Mercator
Lat = 27.696
Long = -130.0
Scale = 6925
Width = 1124
Height = 625
X offset = 0
X Aspect = 1.25
Y offset = 0
Y aspect = .963

You'll probably get a range check error after generation, if it shows up click ok, do a data plot, then window remove last product. Save the basemap.

Hi Pat:

Could you give me some specs on how I can do a visible satellite image,
and plot data on it? I've been trying different things, with no sucess.

Thanks,
Randy

Pat:

The image I'm looking for is for the upper lakes region and Wisconsin!

Sorry about not including this in last message.
