• 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 have been a spotter in the same rural area for many years. I know almost all the roads in the area, so I have had no need for radar software with a decent map. I have been making do with the $9.99 RadarScope Android app just fine. Now that I have decided to start chasing I need a radar program for PC that has a good map & is capable of displaying my GPS coordinates. Any ideas on a good usb GPS? Also, Verizon or AT&T for Texas & Oklahoma?
 
GRLevel3 is what I use, although I have GR2Analyst as well. I use the Microsoft maps program with my GPS. I have the BU-353S4 and BU-353W10 hooked up to my machine, but I also use this method to use the NMEA gps. You will need a NMEA GPS and GPSGate (I think it's $40) to split your GPS signal. Here's a better list of my storm chasing equipment
As far as Verizon or AT&T... depends.. Verizon is great unless you plan to chase south of I-20 in Cen Tex. Brownwood, Stephenville, etc are AT&T only and you will hate chasing without data. AT&T is slow as F around OKC Metro I've found. I've got an AT&T hotspot built into my new car, and use that along with my Verizon hotspot so I have both. The plans are cheap enough anymore to carry both.
