 I found that the new mythweather trunk is working great! When I was
 setting up to use the maps (static and animated) from the scripts
 directory, I noticed that there is not currently a way to add additonal
 maps short of manually editing the maps.xml file.

 Would it be possible to move the maps.xml data into the DB in a new table
 as well as providing a way to add new maps to the DB? For example, I live
 in the Dallas, TX USA area and although I can find maps that cover this
 area, none provide detail for Dallas. I added my own entry to the maps.xml
 file to get a local radar image which works great. The draw back is that
 the maps.xml file is overwritten with each svn update.

 By adding a table that in which additional map sources can be defined
 would allow more user control over the process.
