Which service is this one Jay?


It's called "Pilot My-Cast" -- and it's very, very cool.

Streaming weather radar, TAFs, METARs, winds, local conditions -- all for
viewing on my cell phone. Who would ever believe it?

And for ten bucks a month!


I have had that for a year now. It is kind of cool but there are drawbacks.
You only get one METAR/TAF per request. The radar picture isn't that great,
although it does loop for a half hour period. It is really great for VFR
use, especially when you can look at about 40% of the country at a time and
see who is VFR, MVFR, etc.
