• A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957
  • 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.

Gonna take the new notebook PC chasing this season. I'll be using WxWorx Aviation, GPS, and Streets and Trips.

Any mobile mount advice will be appreciated. I'd appreciate both 'must own' and 'never own' reviews.

Thanks,

Obviously I didn't search all forums. I did a topical scan of this forum and decided to ask. This sort of information evolves. Opinions can change with time.

Thanks for the links. I'll read them.

I'm looking for a mobile laptop mount either for Christmas or possibly early next year before spring weather gets here. My uses are for GPS and of course when I do my weather spotting. I've been searching and found a few threads on them, and tried the links listed above but they're not working. I own a 99 Expedition and would like it to be accessible by the driver and passenger, as many times I've got another spotter with me. Suggestions? I'd also like to keep the cost low but am willing to pay a little more if it's worth it. Thanks!
 
Bought a jotto desk, never looked back. From what I've heard and is also described in the other forums posts thorughout the site, stick with one make specifically for your vehicle, not the 'universal' ones unless you're ready to drill holes.

Jotto Desk is great. Cannot remember where I saw one, it was on some TV show about tornadoes and a chaser's vehicle had one and I freeze-framed it to see the word "Jotto". The rest, thanks to "the Google", is history. I have one for my Chevy Tahoe and it is fantastic. Been through 130,000 miles and many a hurricane and has never been anything but perfect.
