RoadkillNZ Weather Freak Registered: 19/01/2011 Loc: Jimboomba, Qld	When we were driving to pick up our kids from school today my wife was looking at the weather radar on the phone to see how far away the main rain was from us when she said that it would be really nice if there was something out there that has live GPS and live weather radar integrated, so you can see the weather radar with a pretty icon showing where on there you are in relation to it, or the alternate of a GPS program/app with a weather radar overlay to show you what you could be driving into. I had a quick look around the net, and android market and couldn't quite find anything like that but I know I must be doing wrong searches because I would say someone somewhere would of made a app/program (unless it is only on Apple store), so I thought I would ask here and find out if anyone here is using something like that, and where did they get it, and how much ? _________________________ Weather at Jimboomba - http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=IQUEENSL104 http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapid_Fire.swf?units=metric&station=IQUEENSL104 Waiting for next Rainy season in the hope for some decent action

!SCHUMMY! Weatherzone Addict Registered: 22/04/2008 Loc: Jimboomba, SEQ	i know of 1 app for iphone called 'Pkt Weather' and i think there are a few more. when you have the radar loaded you can press a button and it will show you where you are on the actual radar so you are in relation to the storms. im not 100% sure for Android though but i would expect there to be at least 1 out there somewhere. _________________________ Youtube: TheSchummy08 Facebook: Aussie Storm Chasers Website: http://www.aussiestormchasers.com

Foehn Correspondent Weather Freak Registered: 1/11/2001 Loc: Bardon Qld	Interesting question. From memory I think you can integrate a GPS into google earth. Last time I looked there were kHz files? for Australian weather radar sites so it may be possible. If you connect a laptop with mobile broadband to the gps via the USB port logged on and then download the overlay. There is a project for a rainy weekend.

I have Oz radar on my iPhone (don't know whether it is supported on Android) which does exactly as you ask (and thanks to Marty for putting me onto it). It plots your position against radar, sat pic and even prog charts I think. _________________________ YTD Rainfall = 281.0mm (Avg to March 117.0mm) MTD rainfall March = 34.7mm(Avg 41.3mm) February 2011 total = 203.9mm (Avg 37.8mm) 2010 Rainfall: 759.3mm (Annual Avg: 521.5mm)

RoadkillNZ Weather Freak Registered: 19/01/2011 Loc: Jimboomba, Qld	I read this and decided I would spend up big and buy both OzRadar($1), and Pocket Weather ($2.25) OzRadar - It has the GPS location on the radar like I was looking for, but the smallest radar we can go to is the 128k one, not the 64k. So it is close but not quite there. Strangley enough it is missing 256k one as well, only having 128 & 512 but would not use that anyway so not a biggy for me. Pocket weather - This one does not have GPS overlay on Android version by the looks, and if I touch the screen at all on it I have it crashing. Edit: Forgot to mention this is for Android.
