Ya I wish I had it the last 2 days. lost power for 5 hours the other day. thought for sure they were going to open the EOC last night but it ended up being minor. stay safe to the south and as long as Delcarmen stays off the mound I think we'll be ok brother

Lol, another New Englander.... nasty stuff running through here the past weekend, glad you made it through safe bro! Here's a link to GPS weather radar http://www.gps-weather-radar.com/ And it's not Manny that scares me, it's Dice K tonight, but so far so good!

ok, tried this indoors with the use gps unchecked (so it has to use cell towers to find me). google maps finds me in about half a second using this method. I don't think it can find me. When I click update/ update location and radar/ it freezes up and I have to soft reset.
Any ideas?
also, when I went into settings, it kept pulling up memphis, tn when I tried to input my location manually.

edit: went outside with the phone and it did find me using gps (still couldn't get it to work just using towers). Having animated weather radar is nice, but it's pretty slow loading. Guess I'll stick with weatherbug for now. the hourly forecasts are pretty nice to have and allow me to plan my day.

You can load your location using city/town and state and it will find it, then I just update radar only, not location. When I'm camping and outside it will detect me with gps. And I only use it for radar, that's it, not hourly forecasting, etc, but to see when a line of storms is running through my area. As far as weather and hourly updates, GPS weather radar isn't good for that at all, just radar.

Just go to mobile.wundergroundweather.com & type in your zipcode.

Their forecasts are super accurate & include radar.

yea, that's what I meant-thanks.

There is no need to install an app for this, just go to this site, enter your zipcode & bookmark it.

I click that link in Opera Mobile5 & it opens almost instantly, gives the most accurate forecasts that I have found & has animated radar.

I have tried everything listed in this post (GPSradar/weatherbug etc). This loads faster than any program & does EVERYTHING.

And yeah it works wayyyy better, and obviously uses less resources since you're not downloading anything...

tried this and it gives a link for animated radar, but the radar didn't animate.

weather panel running in a 2nd today screen works well also.
