Re: Weather Radar Over GPS-NOT Cellular Signal

It is possible to use the phones GPS without having cell coverage so why not receive radar? I wouldn't mind even using some kind of USB adapter (or Bluetooth) to connect to a seperate receiver if needed to get this info from either GPS or even an XM/Sirius signal. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a way to view live weather radar on my phone in an area where there is no cell signal?
I don't believe this is possible. Every time I've seen weather done on GPS devices, it's been done via a non-GPS signal, FM spectrum from the looks of it and the TP has that part disabled...
