Want GPS enabled Weather App
 

I'm wanting a Weather App that will use the GPS coordinates available on my VZW TP2, and give me the weather for wherever I happen to be, without needing to select a city, state, etc.

I found this one:
http://www.gps-weather-radar.com/

Has anybody used this one, or can recommend a good one?

Obviously I'd prefer an App that will not "break" other functions on my TP2, as some apps seem to do.

And if there were a way to have it replace the default Weather App on the TF3D Home, that would be even better. But it seems that apps that mess with basic functions like that seem to have a habit of breaking other features.

Or, is there some way to get the built-in weather App to use the TP2's GPS to do this right off the bat?

Thanks!

I've tried the new version of that and I must admit, it's very slow. If you can get a hold of an older version, using accuweather as a feed, it's much faster, but the new one using Navteq is SLOW. I've used it a lot: when I'm golfing, checking the chance of rain, etc etc. Comes in handy. But be aware, it does nothing but the radar.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Is there a decent full-featured Weather app that will automatically use GPS? It seems like an obvious thing for a GPS-enabled 'smartphone' to do!

Yes.. Ive used the old version. It worked well for that one thing it does.

I use two weather packages.

Weather Radar & Weather Panel. Between the two, i get all of the info I need. I also use Weather Watcher too.

This apparently will fit your needs, but I'm a little scared to try it because of some of the reported side effects

Thanks, but if it's the Marsware one, Weather Panel is like 4 years old, with no mention of GPS support.

Any single, up-to-date app that will give full weather info, and take advantage of GPS??

Stumbled onto this thread looking for something else... I know it's an old thread, but am responding since I have the older version of GPSWeatherRadar. I prefer it over the newer one not because of speed necessarily but because of the dark background lol. If you go into settings you can trigger it to auto-accept your location then you don't need to manually do it. Cab attached.
