Tom,
Agreed about avoidance. I do use WxWorx for tactical when VMC conditions.
In those situations I can see the cells, but not necessarily what is behind
them. WxWorx gives me a good idea of what's behind them. That way it keeps
me from flying around a cell (VMC) only to find a wall of storms in front of
me.
If it's embedded in IMC conditions, that's when I give a very wide berth.
Nothing is amiss with the GPS - when I use it on the road it's withing about
20 feet (when I am at the intersection of X and Y, it shows me AT the
intersection).
The receiver is just getting coordinates and 1 & 0's to show digitized
weather... so I can't imagine that it is the receiver. I think it must be
the software or information that is being sent to the receiver.
Last week I made two flights. On one flight there were many stationary
cells. They didn't move for over an hour. WxWorx painted at least a few of
them miles off from where they really were.
Matt
