And what projection are you expecting? There's an issue with their
polarographic projections that I've not liked.
NOW: If you want roads, I can add roads. There's precious little in
RIDGE that we cannot generate. However, Xastir has the ability to put
roads down, and the datasets for Texas (http://tnris.state.tx.us) are
considerably better than what NWS has in their database. The main
"feature" of RIDGE is the topo texturing (and that I'm doing Texas
Mesonet with no support right now, so things occasionally break).
So what do folks want? And, let's start making the WMS GETs snag the
real area of interest instead of the whole page.

This is a good thing. Now we can also use radar

for those roads and labels
to get a relatively "raw" radar overlay.
Silly question, if you want a raw radar overlay, why
not just get the raw radar image from NWS?
Well that exactly what I do. But more choice is always better than less
choice, right?
