NWS - National Mosaic Enhanced Radar Image: Full Resolution Loop

Perhaps look at this. It is a full resolution of the nationwide gif.

I had considered it, but at 2.5 megs the download time could be too long and it wouldn't be friendly to battery life.

The latest update (version 0.1.1) fixes a timing problem when the image takes over a minute to download that would cause the UI to get "wonky".

See post #92.

Hi,

Would it be possible to add gps position to the weather radar map? When I was using memory map weather radar on my PPC, it displayed a flashing dot with your current position in relation to the weather. This would make this app a great safety tool to either avoid or get an idea where the weather is while driving or before you take off. What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

GP

PreFlight is Awesome, wish the font was bigger as I am getting to be one of those old pilots who needs cheaters!

Anyway, what about linking to intellicast instead of the govt's web site. I use intellicast on the browser and accuweather for the local radar image.

Keep up the good work.

adsllc,

I have a thought.

The single biggest thing you are missing is a way to give the user their local forcast, temperature, etc.

What if all you did for now was to have a menu option: "Local Weather"

Click Local Weather and it might take you to:
http://mw.weather.com

or

Weather Underground for iPhone

What do you think?

You have been kind of quiet...

Are you off at your secret lab working on a version for the App Catalog?

Ha! I have actually submitted it to the App Catalog, but have not heard anything back.

I've been busy working on FlightBriefer and vifir. There have been plenty of good suggestions, but I can only do so much! It's open-source and free, so I'm happy to give pointers to anyone that'd like to step up!

Would you consider adding a menu item called "Local Weather"?

Click Local Weather and it might take you to:
http://mw.weather.com

or

Weather Underground for iPhone

What do you think? Just nothing more than bring up the link in the browser? Maybe give both as an option:

Weather.com
Wunderground

And presto! You have local maps, forecasts, conditions.
