• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I'm shopping around for a GPS unit right now and was wondering if I could get some suggestions. The price tag is going to need to be around 300 bucks and also be able to receive weather updates out of the box (much like how some GPSes support traffic updates out of the box) or could be hooked up to a regular XM Radio receiver, (I do not have XM Radio, the car I got used and has it) yes I know most likely I will need to pay at lease 10 bucks a month for it then, but I will see if I can work that out. I was looking at this
http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=202093913&listingid=42372191 until I saw that it required an additional 250 for some antenna. This car is not going to be used for chasing and I want the weather so I know what to expect as I am driving around mostly to and fro college during breaks, and just so I don't end up driving my self in to a bad storm (Yes I know that is ironic for a storm chaser board, but the car has a soft top).
 
Seems like a lot to spend with lttle return.
You may be better served by having a separate weather radio and Garmin unit. With a soft top/comvertible, wouldn't you be concerned for someone stealing this expensive unit by using a knife to cut thru that top? I had someone break into a convertible years ago, and the cost to repair the top was outrageous!
 
You might try Bushnell Onix it has XM weather with radar and I think you can get traffic.You can get one on ebay for 200 bucks but there map software is not much.
