RadarLove! 0.2 beta – weather radar imaging on Windows Mobile


RadarLove! 0.2 beta

RadarLove! 0.2 beta


GudenSoft’s RadarLove! is a simple radar imaging engine, which uses data from the National Weather Service RIDGE system. There are many applications out to notify us of weather conditions, but few actually show radar images. The ability to view these images can be very helpful in preparing for a coming thunderstorm. The app is still in early development, so this is a preview release. Test it out and give the developer some feedback.

Note: this will only work with US radar sites and it requires .NET CF 3.5


A few pointers:

* you can click on a location, and it will zoom in on that location. When you do this, the map must not move, otherwise the zoom will not work.
* you can drag the map around with your finger (pen, pencil, or whatever it is you use). The more you are zoomed in, the more you can drag. You can even drag while looping, but while you are dragging, the loop will stop. once you stop dragging, it will continue to loop.
* the up and down hardware keys will zoom in (up) and out (down). This is much easier than using the zoom menu.
* In the location settings, you can input a ZIP code, or a city, st. If you want to use GPS to locate you, just check the box marked Locate using GPS, then click Search. Let it locate you, it will then set everything up for you.
* GPS will only set your location in the settings, it will not stay active while you are looking at radar. If you are moving around a lot, you might want to update your position every once in a while.
