With mapType=0, the map covers a large area centred on the Atlantic suitable for plotting the analyses and track of the storm.

With mapType=1, the map also covers the Atlantic but a smaller area than for the analyses. This is because the forecast data in the following exercises does not cover as large a geographical area as the analyses.

With mapType=2, the map covers a much smaller region centred over France.

Change, mapType=0   to   mapType=1   then click the play button at the top of the window.

Repeat using mapType=2 to see the smaller region over France.
