 I have upgraded version .27 and just aquired a wonderground.key.
 Mythweater maps do not work.

 I have found the following workaround.

 For static maps the source wunderground_maps.pl creates the URL that
 MythWeather uses to display data with this code....

 my $url = "http://api.wunderground.com/api/$apikey/radar/q/$loc.png?" .
           "width=1024&height=768&newmaps=1";

 I can get static maps to work if I change the scripT as follows...

 my $url = "http://api.wunderground.com/api/$apikey/radar/q/$loc.gif";

 Please note that in the modified script, I have changed $loc.png to
 $loc.gif, AND remvoved the question mark.   If the trailing '?' is left in
 place MythWeather will not display the map.   Also, the map does not
 dispaly if using png.

 Similarily, I can get animated maps to work if I change the lines in
 wunderground-animaps.pl as follows:

 my $url = "http://api.wunderground.com/api/$apikey/radar/q/$loc.png?" .
           "width=1024&height=768&newmaps=1";

 becomes:

 my $url = "http://api.wunderground.com/api/$apikey/radar/q/$loc.png";

 note, no '?'

 my diagnoses is that Mythweather is choking on the ? in the URL, and it
 may also have problemes using png formated images.
