I don't know, but I set my Station to one less than full function, and the lines option to one above nothing and I'm very pleased. Just like old times.
And just to comment that my station is running ONLY an eField antenna and when the storm line moved through two nights ago, my station was seeing and being used to calculate position for a few strikes which were less than 7 km away. I'm waiting for a more active storm line to see just when I go into interference.
Note my hField got drown last year and I've been on 'only' the eField. But I still 'see' strikes in Texas and out into the Atlantic Ocean from my location in western Wisconsin.
If we had lots of stations, and there wasn't some physics reason for it, I would think we all could get by with just eFields. But maybe there are advantages to the data that are gathered from the hFields that trump the thought of going solely with efields.

On the highest level the lines stay for a long time, so you get an idea which stations are mainly assigned to the strokes. Just switch to the 2nd highest level for the previous behavior. The distance color scheme is: red=far, blue=medium, green=close. Those three colors are mixed depending on the distance. It's similar like the previous color scheme: The red color is new and shows *very* far distances. Bright green color is shown on very close distances. Thus you get a more detailed view of the distances than before. The old color scheme is still available on the 2nd level, which is also for computers with low resources as only a few lines are displayed.

Hi Tobi,
I encounter a problem with satellite maps of eumetsat in MyBlitzortung. I think the direct links to the card has changed, and it's possible to have an example with the right links.
Thank you in advance.

In an hour or so, Lightningmaps.org will reach 1 million page views since 7:00 UTC today. Once again, the live map will report an error. This will last until 7:00 UTC tomorrow. So far we don't get more Google Maps API credits.
We will try to find a solution with or without Google (i.e. OpenStreetMaps), but it will take some more time.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

FYI, I currently have a map using Leaflet API.
This is not very optimized for the archive strikes as it does not use tiles yet. It becomes a bit heavy when there is too much strikes...

Since Sunday the live map is using Leaflet API with OpenStreetMap as main map. Rewriting took longer than expected, but everything behaves (almost) as before. Leaflet seems to be feaster regarding drawing of all the lightning dots, lines stations. That's really cool. But we have to cache the map tiles on our own servers, otherwise OpenStreetMap might get too much traffic. Google Maps are still possible, but we don't know whether we are affected by the new pricing model they will introduce in July for their API. Let's see...
There's also a cool new satellite overview provided by NOAA: https://www.lightningmaps.org/#z=3;tc=1

After turning off the clouds, I really like this! The lines time delay is much shorter and so the screen does not get cluttered up. It seems to run faster on my tablet, too. Thank you, Tobi.

Hi Tobi - I like the new look however the way the station circles are now drawn makes it very hard to tell when they light up green when zoomed out as you're infilling the green circle with the same shade of green .. it's easy to see however when they light up Purple. Is there any way you can change the colour of the green infill to make visibility better?
Thanks
Ian
