I've been using it for almost 2 years now and really appreciate the big picture that it gives me. I know not to use it to pick through storms. But... I've noticed that WxWorx doesn't accurately show where cells are. They are often off by several miles. For example, when there are some stationary cells (which can be seen when looping the radar picture) I'll fly what would appear to be directly through the storm. I've done this several time. I'm in severe clear VMC, so I can see the storms. WxWorx looping indicates the cell hasn't budged in 45 minutes. According to WxWorx I fly right through the storm, yet in reality I am 10 miles away. I am using a tablet PC to display the WxWorx. This concerns me because, if I were IMC, I could think I was giving a storm a wide berth (say 20 miles), and in reality fly very close to it. Anyone else experience this? Any thoughts? Matt ------=_NextPart_000_0171_01C5A409.8C7F48A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
