Default CBAV - anyone having problems displaying Nexrad?

The last 2 times (yesterday and 1 week ago) I've tried to used CBAV to get
Nexrad images, I get a blank screeen with the word "display" on it.

Anyone have this problem recently? Is there a problem?

I"ve had that problem for months (but the word I get is [image]) and no word
from CBAV either here or in Email.

I fly airplanes off and on as a hobby, I use http://www.weathertap.com/ for
Nexrad images and other. I use a cell phone plugged into my WindowsCE
pocket PC with a cheap cable (Verizon). I know it's not the palm format,
but just thought others might be interested. It's about 75 bucks a year,
but it's color and there is a special palm site so all the maps are scaled
down for quick loading. Verizon has a free number you call to get the
internet connection. It's pretty slow, but you don't need a modem in your
pocketPC and the Verizon service is free.

No relation to weathertap. ... Aaron

Yes, there is, and it's being worked on. I'll post here when it's fixed.

I also am a weathertap subscriber and like it. I use it on the ground though
over the Internet. Aren't there going to be legal issues with using it with
a cell phone in the air?

Do you use it in the air? If so, how is reception?

I have very little luck making call on my Sprint PCS phone in the air.

This has been covered in several threads in the past. You might try a
Google for background.
