I found the nexrad unreliable - I visually spotted rain showers and

Interesting feedback... I have XM running WxWorx's SW and find 99% of
rain to be dead on. Hit the light green area on the display, and
within a few seconds see rain drops on the windscreen.


Same here. I've found the accuracy to be far better than WxWorx claims.
Sometimes it will paint virga that I wouldn't have seen if the NEXRAD hadn't
told me where to look. Truly an amazing weather avoidance tool.
