# MMM-CombinedMap
A MagicMirror² module that displays a combined map with:
- **Rain radar** from DWD (Deutscher Wetterdienst) with animated history and forecast
- **Traffic layer** from TomTom showing real-time traffic flow and incidents
All on a sleek dark-themed Leaflet map.

## Installation
1. Navigate to your MagicMirror modules folder:
```bash
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
```
2. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://gitea.olex.me/clawd/MMM-CombinedMap.git
```
3. No npm install needed - dependencies are loaded from CDN.
## Configuration
Add the module to your `config/config.js`:
```js
{
module: "MMM-CombinedMap",
position: "bottom_right",
config: {
lat: 49.8833, // Latitude of map center
lng: 8.8333, // Longitude of map center
zoom: 7, // Zoom level (1-18)
width: "300px", // Map width
height: "300px", // Map height
showMarker: true, // Show a marker at center
markerColor: "#3388ff", // Marker color
showTraffic: true, // Enable traffic layer
showRadar: true, // Enable rain radar layer
tomtomApiKey: "", // Your TomTom API key (required for traffic)
animationSpeed: 500, // Radar animation speed (ms per frame)
radarOpacity: 0.7, // Rain radar opacity (0-1)
trafficOpacity: 0.7, // Traffic layer opacity (0-1)
updateInterval: 300000 // Radar refresh interval (ms), default 5 min
}
}
```
## Getting a TomTom API Key
1. Go to [developer.tomtom.com](https://developer.tomtom.com/)
2. Create a free account
3. Create a new application
4. Copy the API key
5. Free tier includes 50,000 tile requests per day
## How It Works
### Base Map
Uses CartoDB Dark Matter tiles - a dark-themed OpenStreetMap-based tileset perfect for MagicMirror displays.
### Traffic Layer
TomTom provides two overlay layers:
- **Traffic Flow**: Color-coded roads (green = free, yellow = moderate, red = heavy, dark red = blocked)
- **Traffic Incidents**: Icons for accidents, roadwork, closures
### Rain Radar
DWD (German Weather Service) provides free WMS radar data:
- **Past 2 hours**: Actual radar observations (every 5 minutes)
- **Next 2 hours**: Nowcast/forecast data
The radar animates through all frames showing precipitation movement and predicted evolution.
## Timestamp Display
The timestamp overlay in the corner shows:
- **Negative values** (e.g., `-30 min`): Historical radar data
- **Now**: Current observation
- **Positive values** (e.g., `+30 min`): Forecast/nowcast - shown with blue background
## Data Sources
- **Base Map**: [CartoDB/OpenStreetMap](https://carto.com/basemaps/)
- **Traffic**: [TomTom Traffic API](https://developer.tomtom.com/traffic-api)
- **Rain Radar**: [DWD Open Data](https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/opendata/opendata.html)
