On Item #2 below--I like it! Why do you think it's hard to read? I
especially like the little arrows showing direction.

On Item #1 below--my first thought is maybe it's different like the pager
will be different when the current reading drops into the first history
slot. It's often not the same, and I think it's because it takes a new
average over a slightly different period of time.

#1) So I started running into this a couple days ago and wonder if anyone
else seeing this.

on the iwindsurf main page (graph or chart)
http://www.iwindsurf.com/windandwhere.iws?regionID=126&geographicalAreaID=4
you get links saying that say coyote is at 18, yet when you jump to the
site detailed page

http://www.iwindsurf.com/windandwhere.iws?regionID=126&geographicalAreaID=4&
siteID=211

you get the time heading saying it is av18 gusting 22 but many times I have
seen the actual chart showing some *very* different number (more like 14-15
ave) for times that seem to line up.

Question: is the textural link with the time correct (and mroe real time)
whereas the bar chart the average for that 15 minutes span ?

I just don't undertand why they are so much off soemthing - makes you
wonder which number to trust, or to trust the readings at all....

Note: I've used the web site for the last couple years and never ran into
this problem before.

#2 the main wind map page (that got changed a few weeks ago) is really hard
to read.
http://www.iwindsurf.com/windandwhere.iws?regionID=126&geographicalAreaID=4&
snapShotBar=snapShot
WAY too many info to be able to read it. It's hard to see where the arrow,
the wind speed and name connect (let alone a bunch of iw icons). With all
future/over land site this makes it really hard to read too.

What was wrong with teh old one ?

#3
http://www.iwindsurf.com/windandwhere.iws?regionID=126&geographicalAreaID=4&
snapShotBar=snapShot
has waddell, but is missing Natural briges. South bay coast viewers really
need them both. By conparaison san luis and sherman are listed evern though
they are way off the real map (but still useful to have).
