    Ah that was it, I was looking under N for Netweather Radar for the app, yes it is there just as Radar extra.

    That's all I can see

    For a while now I've never had a device that has had an option to download it. My preference would be to have it as an app on my Car's android head unit but no matter what browser I've used there's never been a download option. Also if I remember rightly when I was able to download it onto previous devices it just simply opened up a webpage which really didn't seem very app like as you'd have to log in again etc.

    Could the android app have more background options? It's the dark grey one I use but it's not available on the app.
  5. I'll just add Aliexpress do a WS2000 clone at a significantly cheaper price (this price also inculdes the VAT), you can also buy the extra sensors. Wireless weather station connect to WiFi, upload data to web (wunderground)|Temperature Instruments| - AliExpress I've just bought one of those, the seller also sold me an extra display unit for £85. I believe the WS2000 isn't actually legal to operate in the UK at 915 MHz whilst the AliExpress version is 433 MHz which is legal here. Tim
  6. Hi, I was out chasing today. I find the best radar app for detail is Netweathers but I had one problem, it was very hard to see where I actually was. I've attached a pic I took whilst pulled over. Can we have a bigger or more noticeable icon, or maybe a flashing dot? Something so when you glance whilst driving it's easy to see where you are. you can kind of see it in the pic but that was zoomed in, from where I was sitting behind the wheel most of the time I couldn't locate the icon. I know it centers but but I would find myself frequently wiggling it around just to check other areas that obviously then leaves it off center so it would be good just to have a more noticeable icon.

    The smoothing option looks good but the edges of the precip are jagged, can this be fixed? On other software where you write your colour tables this is usually fixed by putting 1 extra line of code in taking the image down zero or whatever reading it might stop at to reduce any radar noise.

    It's looking good Paul. Would it be possible in the future to upload our own colour tables? Radar Omega for example now has this feature on it's android app and windows version so it would be good if we could do this as well.
  9. Yeah just use Pivotal weather Models: GFS — Pivotal Weather WWW.PIVOTALWEATHER.COM View GFS weather model forecast map image for 2 m AGL Dew Point in United Kingdom on pivotalweather.com.
  10. Any chance we'd be able to change the map background colour? I was out chasing in the West Country last Tuesday night. NW storm radar is obviously one of the best apps to use but there was one problem. I have a fairly large screen on my phone and the glare of the app with it's light background was a bit distracting whilst driving. I like the map style background because I can see where I am and the road options but can we have an option to change the background colour? Tim
  11. How often has this occurred? Very rarely I suspect. The current UK hotspot being Shetland! It's the very last part of the UK to be fully under the last weeks hot air mass.
  12. I've just noticed that the chaser app chaser location works in the UK. Would it be possible for the Netweather Radar apps to have the option for placefiles or chaser locations (PYKL has it built in) so if we ever have a decent storm day in the UK it would be interesting to see how many people are chasing and also making it easy to network/meet up when out on the roads? Tim
  13. Also at the end of the day December isn't on average the coldest month of the winter nor is June the warmest month of the summer. Therefore neither December or June are mid winter or mid summer!
  14. Hi, Another UK weather site with it's premium package has a chase mode radar that works within your browser so that your location is tracked live with a dot showing your GPS position. To my knowledge I can't see this option with Net Weather Extra, would it be possible to have this feature? Tim
