Version v4.1 of LiveSectional adds many new features for builders to take advantage of. Take a look;

Updated to run under Python 3.7
Added the ability to display TAF (Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts).
Added the ability to display MOS (Model Output Statistics). Only available for the United States and its Territories.
Added the ability to decode METARs from weather stations not located on airports, such as KMYP - Monarch Pass, CO. (Thank you Nick C.)
Heat Map was added to display what airports have been landed at, and how often. Home airport can be designated.
Added the ability to install a rotary switch so viewer can select what data to display, METAR's, TAF's, MOS or Heat Map.
If rotary switch is not installed, the software can set a default data to display. i.e. METAR's.
Sleep Timer - The Map can be put to sleep at night (or anytime) if desired. Pressing a pushbutton will turn on temporarily.
Reload the config settings automatically. The map will restart and reload the settings when new settings are saved.
Map builder has the ability to use both types of LED's, either RGB and/or GRB color encoding on same map.
Decodes the airport ID to show City and State.
Will display IP address if an LCD/OLED display is used.
Logging capabilities were added to help with diagnosing issues.
The builder can now download and backup the config file, airports file, Heat Map file and logfile.
The builder can import a config file and airports file to make maintenance and upgrading easier.
Wind direction can now be displayed using an arrow or numbers in degrees and includes Gusts as well.
The user interface was improved to optimize for mobile applications.
Config Profiles available to load to help start the configuration process.
Many new Transitional Wipes were added for when the FAA weather is being updated.
Ability to setup wifi remotely through the use of Android or IPhone app thanks to Berrylan.org.
A System Information page was added to help with diagnosis if necessary.
A Phone App was added to allow the casual user to control the data displayed on the map if a Rotary Switch was not installed. (Thank you Lance B.)
To help the casual user to access the App, a 'Create QR Code' feature was added to Utilities to display next to the map.
Added the ability to set the RPI's Time Zone without needing to enter the command line.
Added the ability to rotate OLED display 180 degrees, and to reverse the position order of OLED's due to build constraints.
