Finally: Enhancements to map zooming! When you zoom in, a pop-up displays details such as the parameter, model, initialization and valid times (in UTC or local time), plus a mini map highlighting the area you are zoomed to.
Next up: Map Defaults! Set your preferred region for map zooms, choose your default map scale (fit or fill), decide whether time labels appear in UTC or local time, and the ability to collapse the menu to expand the map area—so it’s always set just the way you like it.
