Hi ON7,
Contact Noel - powerfly[at]xsinet.co.za or oh72 117 5130.
Costs about R 9k.
You can also SMS
LF to
35010 and you will get the weather on your phone.
Still a few teething problems being sorted out -
- The QNH is not correct
- The calculated cloud height is intermittant
- Wind speed is shown as kph on the web but kts on the SMS.
Regards
John

Old No. 7 just go to
www.iweathar.co.za and all the prices and contact details are there.
The next step is to add the webcam so that you can visually see the weather as well as look at the data.
It is a really useful tool to have which I now use before leaving home to check on the conditions. The webcams that are on that site I use for checking the surf conditions if I want to go fishing.
Technology is amazing??
