    Default Continuous Weather Radar Display

    Does anyone know of a way to display a weather radar picture that updates as your location changes? Something very much like a GPS display but with a weather overlay. I've tried several iPhone apps but all require you to touch the screen in order to update your location.

    Thanks

    I use the Garman wx app on my Verizon cell phone. You still have to tell it where you are located. Hope it helps.
    If I can't fix it, I will fix it so no one can fix it. Sypder Loco!

    Try WeatherBug it will update your location to where ever your phone is automatically. I have mine set on GPS service and refresh rate every 15 min. I have a smart phone service with Verizon.

    I have an additional question about the smart phone ( any brand ) and continuous updated weather maps. If you provide continuous power to the phone, can you set it so the screen will not go dark after a few seconds?

    I agree with Jack that the Garmin 665 with Sirius service is the way to go.

    My garmin nuvi has that option. Gets realtime updates via a link to my cell phone. Traffic, construction, alerts even traffic cams if I ask for them.
