I have $2000 to budget for equipment and data for this years chase season. I plan to chase from mid April thru mid Aug. (Live in Wisconsin but will be heading out to other states as systems provide. I have nothing as far as data retrieving equipment. This is what I want...
Hi def radar program. I have used GRL3 in the past. It has to have velocity and the ability to zoom in and still be great clarity.
GPS overlay showing where I am in relation to radar.
Shows polygon warnings.
MDs and watches would be a great plus but not demanded.
I guess I need a GPS unit for the radar. Or do I? Do the new machines have the ability to see where I am while on line?
If I am going to buy one device, it needs to have multiple programs running at the same time. I.E. radar and internet browsing. If a laptop AND tablet would be the best, I could do that as well.
I do not have, nor do I want a smart phone to do any tethering.
I need a laptop for other things so a laptop is pretty much a given. I can use a tablet for non chasing as well to, so both would be ok.
Now, how do I get data? I only need to be online via non wi-fi for 5 months. I will not be streaming. I would guess 5 gigs a month should be fine.
What do you think I should get?
Thanks for your time.
