Clustered Single Value Map Visualization: How to regularly refresh the dashboard panel map tiles?

[kahoffman]

We have a dashboard that uses the Clustered Single Value Map Visualization that plots site status data on top of real time weather maps with storm and radar information. The problem I am trying to solve is how to refresh the panel map tiles on a regular basis so the weather data displays accurately. Our content updates appropriately but we need the map tiles to also update regularly for an accurate map. The panel refresh option was taken away. I believe I could refresh the whole page if I needed to but the optimal solution would be to just update the map tiles, i.e. the panel. This problem is also relevant to the mapstats visualization using a map tile service. Anyone have any ideas?

What weather map tiles are you using? Are you overriding the tiles with your own tile URL?

The underlying mapping library I use isn't responsible for refreshing map tiles. That's typically done by your tile provider. It's also possible that your browser is caching the tiles. There might be a way to force disabling the tile cache using a parameter in the URL for your tile server. I'd check the tile provider's API for any options.

I'm happy to help if you can give me some specifics on how it's configured and what service you're using for weather.
