Fresh look for TV weather

Tauranga has been given a new dimension - on TV One's weather map at least.
Tauranga's new 3D map debuted last night.
"The whole of the television industry globally is moving to 3D and so we're just pushing the software along and utilising the extra bells and whistles it has," Andi Brotherston, the channel's news and current affairs public relations manager, said.
The old map looked down on the city but the new one would give a view from under cloud cover and looking west.
It would also include arrows showing wind direction, the sunset, and clearer graphics for weather features like rain.
