The simplest tropical cyclone track map generator. This is an enhanced fork of TrackGen by CodingCactus — among the changes made here are:

  • Support for multiple Blue Marble maps
  • Ability to import and export your tracks for usage on other projects, in JSON and HURDAT format
  • Support for raw URLs, such as those hosted on Github Gists and Pastebin
  • Faster and more optimized rendering of maps
  • Dark theme!
  • Support for STORMS database files (see here)
  • Full PWA support, letting you use this offline and without having to download a ~250MB map file

Usage

  • Each line is a point to be plotted on the map
  • Each field gives information about the point to be plotted
Field Description Example Required?
Name Name of the cyclone, used to join points together Iota

Latitude Latitude coordinate, choose either °N or °S instead of using negative numbers 52 °N
  • Yes
Longitude Longitude coordinate, choose either °E or °W instead of using negative numbers 1°W
  • Yes
Wind Speed Wind speed at that point, leave blank for unknown speeds 25 kt
  • No
Stage Stage of tropical cyclone (determines shape used for point) Tropical Cyclone
