Can those of you in the know please post some links to websites with good placefiles for GRLevel3? And, which do you reccommend? I am especially interested in street level mapping.
Thanks.
Thanks.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.
GRLevel3 Place files?

you need to visit GRlevelxstuff.com for place files. The forums on Grlevelx.com are a wealth of information. You can get the census files (street maps) at http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/
Honestly when you get that zoomed in you can't really see the radar with any detail. Of course you can configure it to see the streets zoomed out but it's just a blur then. I still us it though since I have GPS running with it, sort of a backup for my nav system.

Jeff Snyder's site has links to several good GR3 placefiles, as does this site http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/chase/GR_Placefiles.php.
If you're looking for roads, Scott Lincoln has put up a TON of links to placefiles of streets across most sites in the central U.S. Warning...they're big. Here's the link to them: http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~slincoln/GRS/shapefiles/

I use Jeff Snyder's placefiles. I have the roads loaded but as a backup. The files I use the most are local reports, SPC Outlook Day 1, and the MCD. I also found the Amateur Repeater file to come in handy. It's great for travel as well as weather.

On that note, anyone know what happened to www.grlevelxmods.com ?
Started getting errors on the placefiles last week and now the front page doesn't even come up.
They had some nice ones also.

I'm using GRLevelXStuff.com. Can someone help me on how to get the placefiles onto GRlevel3? I have the stuff downloaded but haven't been able to figure out how to get it on the program. Either reply on this or PM me. Thanks

Chris, click Windows->Show Placefile Manager, and then click the open folder icon and enter the URL of your placefile. A good place to ask questions about GrLevelX is the owner forums:

I am not sure when, but sometime in the past few months, the site must have experienced down time (maybe from a crash of some kind) There is mention about repopulating the downloads section in the forums. I noticed there was something amiss when I went to log in and it told me my username was wrong. I had to re-sign up.

Yeah, last month(I think) the server went poof.. So, They are working on getting it back up. So far, threre are only a few things available, but then again, the old server was a culmination of several years of work.
