Some information is better than none, even if it is stale.

Have you used it?


No.

Then, with respect, you have little practical information on which to judge
its value in operational situations. "Some information is better than none"
does not do justice to the superb weather awareness it provides. It is far
superior to using ATC/Fligh****ch.

As to the "stale" business, in 200+ hours of using the product in the most
thunderstorm-infested region of the U. S., I have found 6-8 minute maximum
lag a non issue for avoiding CBs.
