Map view (v3)

In the experimental map view, that is available under the view code v3, weather information about a geographical region is available:

    $ curl v3.wttr.in/Bayern.sxl

v3.wttr.in/Bayern

or directly in browser:

The map view currently supports three formats:

  • PNG (for browser and messangers);
  • Sixel (terminal inline images support);
  • IIP (terminal with iterm2 inline images protocol support).

To view images in kitty:

curl -s v3.wttr.in/Tabasco.png | kitty icat --align=left

or even without curl at all, because icat knows how to handle URLs:

kitty icat --align=left https://v3.wttr.in/Tabasco.png
