Default Android Skew-t app

I tried to use the identifier for Moriarty, NM, K0E0, and get the error,
[Failed to load KE!]. Does the program not accept numerals (zero) in the
identifier? Still working on the conversion to decimal Lat/Lon...

Sweet. Being able to save and name "favorite" locations would be great.



It seems like there is some round up on the ground elevation? When I put
KHUT, Hutchinson, KS, in it has the base altitude at 2000 ft when it
should be more like 1600.



Also looks like the default time is 8 am to 7 pm. That's OK but I think by
this time of the day the Op40 should be able to forecast to tomorrow
morning which would be nice. Perhaps you could have it start at 8 am of
the current day and go out as far as the forecast is available?



Next of course will be to include the other models...



I really like this presentation and thinking will come in really handy.


Thanks for that feedback. I'll take a look at those problems.

Your right about the time, I set those limits thinking it would easily cover
most soaring needs. I'll do some more investigation to see what data is
available for download.

How many favourites do you think you would want? How many would you use
regularly? How many would you use once in a blue moon?

How important are the other models? Would this be a set & forget item or
something you change regularly?
