We've been waiting years for this advance: a GPS navigation device that can integrate local doppler weather radar so that you can see a storm approaching wherever you are.Now it's here!
One example of this still quite expensive technology is the Bushnell Onix 400, which cleverly uses XM Radio to get the local doppler radar.
We would hope this technology spreads--it would be terrific to have in a car, but also has very clear utility for just about anyone spending a day outdoors, especially on a summer afternoon when thunderstorms are a threat. Boaters, fishermen (and women), golfers, campers--all could use this. We can't wait for the wristwatch version.
