Now that the Gulf Coast is slowly getting back on its collective feet, Bev has created a terrific little site off his main BevHoward.com site specifically for radar information on the go! ...you can get to any number of radar sites in the United States, Puerto Rico and Guam. When a radar site is selected, you are automatically taken to the NOAA animated radar for that location."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060209-BevStorm.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Clinton Fitch gives us a tour of Bev Howard's <a href="http://bevhoward.com/storm/ppcrad.htm">Mobile Radar Site.</a> Sure, it's focused on the Pocket PC, but Clinton shows us how to use it on your Smartphone too. Best of all it doesn't cost anything to use Bev's site. Check it out <a href="http://bevhoward.com/storm/ppcrad.htm">here,</a> and add it to your bookmarks. :)

This is pretty neat - though when viewing on Smartphone, it takes a while to move the crosshairs to a point far off center.

Sadly, yes. It would be really cool if there was a drop down with all the different locations listed in it. At least it would be faster for those of us without a touch screen. ;)
