## 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](https://v3.wttr.in/Bayern.png)

or directly in browser:

*   https://v3.wttr.in/Bayern

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).

## Notes

### xterm/uxterm

To start xterm/uxterm with Sixel support:

```
uxterm -ti vt340
```

### Kitty

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
```
