Default Xcskies

Zooming in is misleading since it increases the resolution of the map but not necessarily the resolution of the forecast.
I compared XCSkies to blipmap many times over the years (as recent as last weekend) and in all cases blipmap was more accurate in my opinion.
But I agree the UI is much better, but I don't trust a tool which is no longer supported.
The reason I chimed in is to remind folks that there is still a better alternative to XCSkies.
