Testers Needed: Metar Wx Reports on Your Cell Phone

I used it this way in the past 3 days: I selected HWO and ORL and was
notified when vis was less than 5miles, ceilings less than 3000 ft and
winds over 12 knots. This painted a picture for me on a trip to do a
seminar. I noted the times of weather issues and estimated when I could
depart for home. Then, when the seminar was over I called for a
standard route briefing, noting if it deviated from the routine I had
read from my cell. It didn't so I departed about the time I expected. I
don't know that this does more than add to the total amount of
information worth knowing but that in itself is worth having.

The problem I see for a paid service is that with the G1000, we'll have
this info and more. That wouldn't be your target market, obviously.
There will be plenty of aircraft without Nexrad via Satellite, however.

I would suggest graphics at some point, either stills or, preferable,
loops (such as those on the ADDS site).

The other thing is that I'd like to be able to specify a trip profile -
that is, a series of stations submitted at once for monitoring 2, 3 or
4 days. The easier to enter, the better.

But, I'm not complaining. I knew what to expect and when to plan a
departure and your metar reports helped build the picture. Thanks.
