You only need to change $myLat and $myLong to your station's decimal latitude and longitude to see it work in your area. Defaults are for magnitude 2.0 (or greater) within a 500 km radius.

This script is included in the Base-Canada Saratoga Template and will auto-customize to your latitude, longitude, timezone, cacheFileDir and language preferences when loaded in a wx..php page in the template.
