Re: Sat Map
Hi Neil
where are the maps coming from (what site?)
Some make it easy, others more difficult, and others expressly forbid you to do it!

Re: Sat Map
This site here... http://www.meteorologica.info/index.htm has a number of UK maps and details at the end of each page on what HTML you need to include in your page to show the maps
With regard to the UK Met office -- they allow you to link to their site, but it is Crown Copyright and specifically precludes you from including sections of their site in your own.

Re: Sat Map
I'm really not clear what you want then!
Do you want pictures of maps that you can then add your own data to?
OR
Do you want live maps on your site, but the maps and data are from someone else?
if the second option you will probably struggle. Any sites I have seen that offer their data on their maps want you to have some kind of link back to their site as they have done all the donkey work in terms of writing the code to put live data on maps.
With the links I mentioned earlier, you can certainly include their pictures on your site. Example, having this code on your site...
More details please
thanks

You could have them update on your site but their images are only updated every 15 minutes and I doubt anyone sits looking at one page for 15 minutes.<img border="0" src="http://www.meteorologica.info/FreeImages/skymet_uk.jpeg" width="540" height="540">
