iPhone chasing is here

[Michael Wolfinbarger]

Also wondeing if anyone has tried both apps I mentions before. I am curious what chasers think of these apps. I have read the reviews, but it is hard to tell what the people are using the app.

I'm one of the developers of RadarScope. It uses OpenGL ES to render images on the phone from Level III data obtained from NOAA's server. It displays your location on the map using the iPhone's GPS. Our maps currently consist of state and county borders plus city names. It currently supports tilt 1 base reflectivity, base velocity, and storm relative velocity. Version 1.2, released earlier this week, added animation and storm relative velocity.

I'll be happy to answer questions, or you can visit our web site at <http://basevelocity.com> for more information.

Sweet! Yall might want to put that it is now animated. I wouldn't have known by reading the description. I will probably be purchasing the app soon and trying it out before spring hits. Thanks for the update.

How about supporting the SN?

Michael, if you could put storm tracks, meso numbers and roads on it, this would be a complete little stormchasing dream app.

I second this! It'd also be useful if you could integrate METAR, lightning, etc from Allisonhouse and other providers. Spotter Network would be very cool though.

Radarscope is great, I have it, it also velocity, gps and animation. Not a replacement for GRLevel3 but a good program as long as you have a signal. The bad reviews were from people who like looking at National Radar Maps, radarscope is for chasing and looking close in at individual radar sites. Its my favorite app. I highly recommend it.

which one is best for mac on laptop?

Which is the best one that works on mac laptop with wifi?

Ah, it looks ok but I'll stick with a laptop and Grlevel3. I guess for users that can't afford or don't want to lug around a laptop, it might be a compromise.

Michael,

I love the app.

This is currently an incomplete question. Is it an Intel based Mac? If so, run Parallels or VMWare and use GRLevelX like all the cool Windows kids.

Check out my recent (yesterday) chase using solely the Iphone... - well and Street Atlas on my notebook. I didn't have any other data plan. Guess I could have navigated using Google Maps but maybe that would be stretching it for safety. There's probably other map apps I could have used off app store though.

I chase on the 10th with my iPhone, wx radio and scanner. I wasn't planning on chasing since it looked like the dryline would pass the metro before I could get going. I got out of class at uco and headed north. It worked well. I wished I had my laptop for navi, but all in all it was a good first rookie chase.
