Overview
Using the weather overlay at a country wide level can get bogged down when also showing all of the points of interest on the map. To address this, a map mode has been added. In map mode, the map is cleared of all reported spot and point of interest objects. The weather overlay performance is much better at bigger scales as a result. Keep in mind, if you make a parameter adjustment that results in a lot of polygons being shown, there can be a delay in the rendering. Additionally, more data is now being loaded on startup leading to startup times on the order of 5 seconds. A progress indicator has been added to give the user feedback that the app is loading and is not hung up or anything.
New Features
Map Mode
- A Map option is now available in the modes selection box to enter Map Mode. The map view is now cleared of all reported spot objects when in map mode to facilitate improved weather overlay usability at large scales.
Loading Indicator
- A loading progress bar is shown in the bottom right corner at startup

Thank you for your contribution. Instead of showing Loading Data on the down, wouldn't it be better to show in the middle of the screen.

I think it may look cluttered in the center against the control box but it's something I could experiment with in the future. Also, has the contribution been approved? If not, can you specify a reason? Thank you.
