I can't make a comparison of features since I haven't used weathertap, however the fact that GRlevel3 doesn't involve subscription fees is a plus for me.

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.
What radar site do you chase with?

Since GR3 offers a free trial, and I think WXTap does too, I think the best way to answer that question is try yourself...

GRLevel3 -
GIS Line file mapping (Street level).
Pan and zoom.
GPS aware.
Customizable.
Can look at more than on radar site by running multiple apps.
Does it's own rendering making smaller downloads.
If the computer supports it, you can "smooth" the radar data (I don't, but some people love it).
Easy screen captures in PNG format.
Level III radar information is free (NOAA public Servers aren't always reliable though. This is "fixable" using data feeds from other sources).
Warning Polygons are displayed on screen and are users on/off selectable along with TVS, Shear, and Hail markers
METAR information on screen.
Vertical Wind Profiles available
Can view up to 4 radar products in a single window.
I can't say too much about Weather Tap. I've only seen it a few times. It appears that it loads Gif files from the internet. It's browser based. Zooming is there, but appears only to be zooming on the previously rendered image.

http://www.grlevelx.com/grlevel3/ ... The public forums are at http://www.grlevelx.com/forums/ . Note that you'll be able to downloaded the latest version of GRLevel3 (which is in beta I believe) after you have paid for the current version of GRLevel3.
