KR>OK, Daniel Heath.....you asked for it!!-Weather
Brian & Darren; Did you remember tho put the "y" in front of the Canadian airport identifier? Some airports need it and some don't. eg; YYZ for Toronto W.G.(Bill) KIRKLAND wkirkl...@rogers.com - Original Message - From: "Brian Kraut" To: Cc: Sent: Wednesday, September 24, 2003 9:52 PM Subject: Re: KR>OK, Daniel Heath.you asked for it!!-Weather > I looked up a few airport identifiers and put them in and got a "Bad Airport" message on the phone so I would say they don't have Canada coverage yet. That brings up the one gripe I have on the system. You put in airport identifiers and it centers the screen on the selected airport which is great, but you can't scroll the picture to the sides so if you want the weather centered in the midddle of nowhere where you are flying and there are no airport around you are out of luck.

Dan, said a combination of ipilot and a wireless PDA for weather would be the cat's meow. I checked this out at Oshkosh and as soon as my wireless contract runs out, I'm changing phones. You can now subscribe to my-cast for $9.95 per month or an annual fee of $99.95 and have animated color doppler radar, METARs, TAFs, movable weather map and route weather dipicted on your color cell phone. http://my-cast.com/pilot/ What I saw at Oshkosh convincedme it was worth a hundred bucks a year to try it out. The screens are scaleable now so viewing the data was easy. It certainly would not be a tool to punch through cell openings but might be of value to you in making important weather decisions. Find a cell and follow it's movement, pan a weather page and get graphical depiction of flight conditions, ceilings, vis, wind, cloud cover, dew point. Just another tool to keep it between the buoys.
