I have only used RadarScope while on the ground as a meteorologist... not in the air. But, if good map backgrounds became available, it would make a huge difference strategy wise in the cockpit on stormy days.


I've found https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/noaa...458225159?mt=8 invaluable for flying and boating for several years (using wi-fi on the ground only).

I understood that it was not possible to obtain sufficient internet bandwidth to run these apps on a cell phone while in the air in a glider. Have you overcome that obstacle?
