A few scattershot thoughts/ideas, in no particular order. Wondering if some of these exist already and I just don’t know about them, if so please let me know. Agree with @rdale that trying to do everything means doing nothing well and that we naturally gravitate toward best-of-breed in specific areas no matter how excited we might initially be about the “new app that does it all.”
1. Definitely agree on logging historical radar AND GPS position together
2. Radar that has the resolution of RadarScope but with Google Maps road detail that allows you to control the transparency of either so that you can emphasize one or the other as needed
3. A model display that allows you to overlay two or more models on top of each other; for example, comparing GFS and NAM 500mb on the same map instead of side by side (with ability to control transparency)
4. Regional model output that shows towns or cities for geographical reference
5. Something like the SPC mesoscale page that allows the overlay of various parameters based on actual / most recent obs where applicable/available, instead of RUC derived.
6. Radar as good as RadarScope but with the ability to layer in surface obs
7. Satellite as good as SatSquatch but with GPS position
8. Model site with greater consistency of available output from model to model. For example, on Pivotal Weather, not all of the same parameters are made available from NAM, GFS, RAP, etc. I understand Euro data being limited, but why should anything else be limited?
I’m sure I’ll think of more as soon as I post this![Smirking face :smirk: 😏](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60f.png)
