Weather app that uses GPS position?
 
For those of us who travel, is there a weather/forecast app that polls your GPS to get your location at user-defined intervals? I've searched around and haven't been able to find anything. Live Search is the closest but you have to open the program, manually ask it to find your position and then ask for the weather.

You have to a pay a monthly fee but its great for storm chasing.

That software doesn't do forecasts and it's incredibly expensive.

Another option is http://www.skylab-mobilesystems.com/...alweather.html , but it also doesn't do forecasts. It's only $15 but it might not have a Today plug-in. Can't tell.

But Live Search doesn't have a Today plugin and doesn't run on its own. I would manually have to tell it to find my location and then manually open up the weather. Not at all what I'm looking for.

If anyone searches for this thread, there is now a weather app that does exactly what I was looking for. SBSH Pocket Weather. The new update adds the ability to derive your location using GPS. It's perfect.
