The simplest tropical cyclone track map generator. This is an enhanced fork of TrackGen by CodingCactus — among the changes made here are:
- Support for multiple Blue Marble maps
- Ability to import and export your tracks for usage on other projects, in JSON and HURDAT format
- Support for raw URLs, such as those hosted on Github Gists and Pastebin
- Faster and more optimized rendering of maps
- Dark theme!
- Support for STORMS database files (see here)
- Full PWA support, letting you use this offline and without having to download a ~250MB map file
- Each line is a point to be plotted on the map
- Each field gives information about the point to be plotted
| Field | Description | Example | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Name of the cyclone, used to join points together | Iota |
|
| Latitude | Latitude coordinate, choose either °N or °S instead of using negative numbers | 52 °N |
|
| Longitude | Longitude coordinate, choose either °E or °W instead of using negative numbers | 1°W |
|
| Wind Speed | Wind speed at that point, leave blank for unknown speeds | 25 kt |
|
| Stage | Stage of tropical cyclone (determines shape used for point) | Tropical Cyclone |
|
Custom scales start from either the Default or Accessible scale. Add only the speed thresholds where a new color should begin; categories that are not overridden keep the base scale's colors. For example, adding entries at 190 kt and 215 kt creates three C5 ranges: the original C5 color below 190 kt, the first custom color from 190 kt, and the second custom color from 215 kt. The speed unit changes how values are displayed in the editor; its values are stored and applied in knots.
