    A layered view of weather. Great for following storms as they move.

    sailors have been using that one for years! another good weather app is predictwind, which adds weather routing and more detailed models.

    I helped sail a friend's boat from Oahu to Blaine, WA a couple summers back. We had a gentleman back on shore who helped with our weather routing. We'd check in with him on our SSB every evening and that was one of the highlights of the day! I *think* he was out of Tuscon? Anyway, it was one of the highlights for the 30 day crossing checking in with him each evening around dinner time. Mad respect for you guys! I wonder if any of you know him? I can't remember the name, but I think he was a pilot in the military and helps many vessels cross with great weather info!

    Nice. Easier to use than Weather Wise and (IMO) just as informative.
