FREE: Weather on your phone

Postby RudiGreyling » Thu Jun 14, 2007 12:56 pm

Hi Guys,

I have linked the Weather images I regularly use onto a small website you can see and browse on your mobile phone. It is quite handy to see what the WX is like before committing a flight, or even before getting up out of bed for the microlight guys in the morning :twisted:

Just my way of giving something back of the Hobby I love...

Remember you need to configure your phone to browse the internet, most phones can do it nowadays, just phone your service provider and ask them to send you the settings.
Just remember on some phones you will have to save the image and ZOOM it to see the detail.

I'd love to hear your feedback. Use it for free, just at your own risk....Remember to check the chart Dates for validity.

Kind Regards
Rudi

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the good feedback via mail and everything. I added a counter and saw it was accessed 151 times in one day, so it looks like there are some interest. I will keep it up for you guys.

I checked today it works on the fancy phones and my old nokia as well.
