A special feature in CumulusUtils is the possibility to display the location of the station on a zoomed in map. The map can display the winddirection (updates with realtime.txt) and a windrose for the indication of the North direction. As the zoom factor can be quite large (try 16 or 17) this map gives an interesting possibility to show live wind influence in harbours or airfields (which is where the inspiration came from, see this [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=125668#p125668 post]). The Wairoa airport where it started [http://wairoa.net/weather/airport.htm is here].
