Cool and Useful! Full Screen Weather Maps from Weather Underground
Weather Underground (one of the big names in online weather) has just released a new service called FullScreenWeather.com that offers screen size weather maps containing:
+ Local Temperature and Conditions
+ Temperatures from Around the Nation
+ With a Click You can Also See Precipitation (via radar) and Cloud Cover (via satellite), They Can Be Animated
+ A Click Provides a Direct Link to the Map
+ Access Weather Alerts (When Active) with a Click
+ It's All Possible to See Dew Point, Wind, and Humidity by Making the Selection under the Settings Button.
The service utilizes Google Maps so zooming-in/out, toggling between a map, satellite image, or hybrid is something most are familiar with.
Finally, weather info comes from over 16,000 personal weather stations.
Btw, why offer this service, now?
Perfectly suited for viewing on any PC or laptop, this engaging new product was developed with touch screen technology firmly in mind. Apple iPad users will be able to use the scrolling and zoom functions and touch any specific weather station to view details.
