Modernizing a legacy chaser

Ever since I finally (December 2022, just before I turned 37) got a vehicle new enough to have a screen and support Android Auto, I've wished it would support Radarscope. Being able to have that app open on the car screen and pan/zoom it by touch would be huge. That said, the Bluetooth connection is finicky enough (occasionally it will drop out every few minutes just doing simple GPS navigation with Google Maps) that it might not be all that great. Even the wired (with USB) connection drops out on occasion.

By the way, the Twister quote in my signature is meant to be somewhat ironic, as I don't have a lot of "high-tech gadgets," and I actually feel my "instincts," as honed over years (decades, now) of independent study of supercell morphology and behavior, are pretty good. It's not having the confidence in myself to trust them that has cost me multiple tornado intercepts over the years, and it's only recently that's started to change.
