GenericRadar v0.6.6
Smoother, clearer map navigation with seamless basemaps and uninterrupted radar imagery.
Basemap and navigation improvements
- Raster map tiles now meet cleanly without visible cracks; vector boundaries
remain continuous across zoom levels.
- Previously loaded basemap detail stays visible until its exact replacement
is ready, preventing black flashes while zooming.
- Cursor-anchored animated zoom and inertial panning make map movement smooth
and predictable.
- Disable animation at Settings → Navigation → Smooth camera motion if
immediate movement is preferred.
- Radar imagery is smoothly resampled during movement; decoded gate values,
scientific readouts, and underlying radar data are unchanged.
- Live low-tilt following, Level 1 I/Q reprocessing, surface observations,
placefiles, and current-view/animated-loop exports remain available.
- Pure Rust implementation with no new dependencies.

GenericRadar.exe is the locally built and verified Windows binary. Windows
may show a SmartScreen warning because the application is not code-signed.
Additional Windows x64/ARM64, Linux x64/ARM64, and macOS Intel/Apple Silicon
packages are compiled from the same tagged source. Non-Windows builds are not
flight-tested.

published by the NOAA/NWS Aviation Weather Center; historical reports and
supplemental station networks are served by the Iowa Environmental
