NOTE: You Need 3G or WiFi connection to get radar image (ground image is already in system).
NOTE ALSO: If the Sydney 512km composite display isn't working - Newcastle or Wollongong will give you excellent coverage.
Oz Radar displays the most recent Australian weather radar (rain) images for a selected location. It shows a map of your area with an overlay of the rain radar images and your current GPS location (useful for pilots etc).
(The images are usually updated every 10 minutes).
OzRadar opens into your most recently selected area.
The map can be zoomed in and out and can be dragged around the screen.
The image is copyright Australian Bureau of Meteorology.
Two image sizes are available - 128km radius and 512km radius.
The UT time is shown at the bottom of the image - add the time offset for your location to this to see the local time of the image.
eg. sydney=+10, perth=+8 :so UT:0210 = 12:10 sydney, 10:10 perth.
For quickest display, it is preferable to be on a wifi connection.
Add it to your home page and it is there at a moments notice to check with just the touch of the finger.
INSTRUCTIONS for FIRST USE:
The Perth WA image is the initial default (my home).
Select your own location via the 'menu' button (or icon) -
The menu displays: 128km, 512km, NSW, QLD, VIC and 'More'.
Tap on your state, (or 'More' to see the rest of the states).
The radar locations in your state will then be displayed.
Tap on the one nearest you and your map will be displayed.
The last location selected will then be the default location and will always show up when you start the app. (until you change it again).
The 128km and 512km buttons are alternative coverage distances of the radar.
Tap on one to load that image (128km is the default).
If you have a touch screen, you can pinch, expand and drag the image to get a closer look at a location.
The images are quite large and you should really have a wifi connection or a very good signal to get the best loading speed.
(If the download doesn't work, please try out the mirrors.)
