    Please add a way to position and size the radar image so that it can be placed in the corner of the main live tv picture at all times.

    This is a great tool! I will be sure to give it a try, and let you know how it is working. I think the radar is really the best way to know what is happening at the moment, and especially when hail and strong rain is coming. We usually get busy with radar more in the summer, because in the winter, it is just snow mostly.

    Love the radar but I don’t know what I am looking at I don’t know how to find out which radar I want up? What is Base Reflectivity as opposed to Storm Relative Motion? How do I find that out?
