Wisconsin and Minn do not have support outside of urban areas. There was
not support in either Pierre or Rapid City, SD, or Salt Lake, UT.

Interesting website (although I never could find any info about what

it
actually costs for the service).


Unfortunately it says "coverage in the center of the country is

spotty"...

I haven't found anyplace in eastern Iowa/IL/IN w/out coverage.
Haven't tried everywhere of course.

Kansas/Nebraska and some parts of Arkansas are without. It's
line-of-sight, depends upon how high you are.

It's cheap*******s! It doesn't cost anything!!! (Well, there is a

monthly
service for the palm).


Palm VIIx $60-$70 on ebay plus $10/month for cheapest plan.

You want to check the Palm website for coverage map and info on
plans. The cheap plan is available only w/ the Palm VIIx

There's a subscription service (weatherclip) which supposedly
provides more current radar.

I'd bank on CBAV + a sferics device over trying to make Marine
radar work for wx detection in a plane which is moving 10-15x
faster than a boat.
