We went to see Mom over the weekend and had to drop Cece off at school on the way home. The forecast called for possible freezing rain in the higher elevations so we left early to avoid the bad weather. I had the GPS up, Desktop Weather Max set on radar maps, and updated the GPS fix on the blackberry weather bug app every 10 min so we could get current temps (radar maps load slow) . Based on the radar maps, it looked like we were running about 15 min ahead of the storm as it moved into northern tier of PA and southern tier of NY.
I’ve used a GPS for years with my Tablet PC and Street Atlas (from Delorme) and often wished I could overlay weather radar so we could see where the storms were. Both when we lived in TN and also now when we head east on I-90 along Lake Erie or west on I-80 through IN, it would really be nice to see the local temps and radar so we know what we’re running into when the weather is bad. My Blackberry and the weather bug app can do this and its really helpful, but I wish my GPS map could do it – I like the bigger screen and it seems like it loads faster than the blackberry maps.
