I don't think it has been mentioned, but WindAlert is a pretty cool
free app that has weather station info. *Not aviation specific, it's
actually primarily a Kiteboarding and Windsurfing centric app. *It
will give you a map view of weather stations with surface temperature/
wind data as well it can trigger alerts and notifications based on
your personalized settings.

If you're familiar with Weather Underground *Wundermaps, it pretty
much will give you the same view as well as detailed info and trends
on specific sites.

I wont be holding my breath. It's a nice idea but a practical non-

Wouldn't say that. It was used at last years Swiss Nationals and
Junior Nationals for live tracking of 8-10 competitors and -
admittedly over densely populated areas i.e good cellphone coverage
most of the time - worked fine!


Got it. Will try it.
