Simply awesome for sailors

In what way, I don't know... but its awesome nonetheless...

that's f'in cool. I presume those are surface winds? (it appears to be).

based on the reading its giving for Orlando right now - I'd say yes.

I'm diggin' it. This would make an excellent wallpaper or screen saver.

I've already turned it into my live wall paper on my phone.

For those who have not yet discovered, the page has a zoom feature showing coordinates and location specific wind speed.

Tad, how often does the page refresh (ever hour?)

very cool find, thanks Tad

Not sure how often it refreshes.

Thanks

Your a droid man right?
How do you do this?

Do you have a galaxy nexus or are you running a custom ICS rom? If not then you can't until your phone is updated to Android 4.0

I actually had to turn it off because it was sucking down juice and hindering performance unless I killed all the widgets on my homescreens.

"These are 1-hour forecasts, downloaded once per hour. So what you're seeing is close to live data."

It loads painfully slow on my iPhone 4, would make great iPad app though.

UUUHHHH...Yeah. None of that stuff. I just hit upgrade when my dROID x tells me to. I def. don't need anymore of a battery drain, but Thanks for 'splainin'.

Actually, I just flashed a custom ICS rom last night... How did you do it? Thanks for the info, even if it doesn't work out it would be cool to try.

+1 If my EVO doesn't have good service, the battery is gone in no time. Little pecker should have a built in generator and a crank to get power back into it.
