Thanks for making
Weather Radar Map HD for the iPad
the top selling
dedicated radar app for the iPad during
the month of August!
Go to the Help section on the settings screen to find out the latest status of the app and get detailed information on all of the apps features.
Information on the track of named storms will also be available there.
iPhone: Version 1.5.0
iPad: Version 1.3.1
Both available in the Apple App Store!
Note:
There is a bug in the iPhone 1.5.0 release that causes Location Services to not be allowed for the app (for some users). A fixed version (1.5.1) will be released today (2/13/2011) and will be available as soon as Apple approves the release. Sorry for this inconvenience.
There were many improvements made in 1.5.0 so conisider this the small price of progress :-)
When tracking a storm in the Gulf of Mexico, use the 248nm N0Z radar mode and one of the coastal NexRad sites to reach as far out as possible with the land-based radar systems.
When tracking storms in the Carribean, use the Miami (AMX) radar or Puerto Rico (JUA) radar if the storm is further east. Between these two sites, you can often get excellent radar coverage of tropical systems that are inbound to the U.S from the Carribean.
The N0Z radar mode, while not as accurate as the N0R mode, reaches twice as far out from the radar site.

User Guide and FAQ
The images to right show screenshots from WxRadMap and another very nice radar app from the App Store. The shots are of the same storm, although WxRadMap is zoomed in a little closer... the app on the right is zoomed in as far as it allows.
Now lets try to answer some typical weather questions:
1. Is it raining at the Mobile Downtown Airport?
2. Will I encounter heavy rain when heading north on I-65 and I-165?

out a video of WxRadMap v1.1 in action.
When the "National Map" button is pressed, it will download and display the latest National Mosaic of all the Doppler Radars in the continental USA (the individual radar icons are hidden in this mode). You can zoom in to an area of interest, then toggle back into the Radar Browsing mode and pick a radar to view the detailed animated radar for that region.
