Android app to view data found on aviationweather.gov in a more friendly fashion than trying to view the website directly on a mobile browser.
Available on Google Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.clearboxsoln.aviationwx
Once app is up and running, a long tap will query METARs for what's shown on screen.
I'd love help making this app better. Here's the things I have in mind.
- Make sure another developer can get up and running (have I included essential files in git?)
- About tab to steer folks to github and give instructions
- Change the long click for query? Not intuitive for a new user. Maybe an HOWTO note?
- Radar overlay
- Be smart about which stations to display. (I think this is done with the density=prior)
- Ability to switch to satellite or terrain google map views
- Use phone's position to center map.
- Get testing framework up and running.
- Wind barbs - Could be implemented with features built into aviationweather.gov
- TAF (DONE)
- PIREPs - (DONE - but icons could be much better)
