Once you have the GRMST placefile loaded you can now draw storm tracks.
A storm track requires 2 positions chosen by you, a start position and a forecast position.

Move your mouse on the GR radar screen to a storm cell, press the (Q) key once.
Now move your mouse to a forecast position, press the (Q) key once again.

The storm track is now complete and should be visible.

Press the (X) key to erase all storm tracks.
Press the (S) key to show ETA information.

 *Tip* You will want to keep the placefile "gr_mst.txt" near the top in your placefile manager,
due to the rapid one second refesh rate.

 *Tip* You can disable/enable the HotKey logger by clicking on the red/green status icons.
This is useful in preventing accidental storm track projections and or erasing of storm tracks.

Example, after you draw a storm track, click on the green status icon, it will now turn red and all HotKey will be ignored.

Simply click on the red status icon to enable the HotKeys once again.


BOW Echo Projections require 8 user selected positions, see the example image below.
Bow Echo ETA's are currently disabled; the feature is under construction yet again.

Points 1-6 define a bow echo, points 7 and 8 define the speed and direction only.
Points 7 and 8 do not define the structure of the bow echo.
Trial and Error is the easiest way to learn, give it a try.
