SmartSite Control
What it does: Radar images come from about 160 radar stations across the U.S. Each station sees storms best when they are close. Farther away, its beam passes over the storm and misses what is happening near the ground. SmartSite automatically uses the station with the best view and switches when a better one takes over.
Location mode
SmartSite only works when the radar shows a single station (L1 or L2 products). Switch the radar from this nationwide view to a station view to use it.
SmartSite is picking the best station for the area around your location.
