Product Description:

Radar in Motion is a Dashboard widget that grabs radar images from The Weather Channel and displays the animation. One can access the radar for a given zip code or get a regional map. See the README file for more information and also see the license. The widget is maintained by Kamal Aboul-Hosn.

What's new in this version:

  • Removed up and down arrows to move between maps in favor of map counter button, click on it to switch to next map (or use up and down arrow keys)
  • If no favorites exist, single map displayed is remembered when the widget is restarted
  • Added option to rotate to next map at end of animation sequence
  • Removes all preferences when widget instance is removed
  • Several speed and memory optimizations
  • Information on last map not added to favorites remembered when flipping to back of widget
  • Fix: Severe weather alerts would not disappear after they were over
  • Fix: The widget could rotate maps (and therefore use CPU cycles) even when Dashboard was hidden
  • Fix: More detailed maps (300-mile and 100-mile) would not appear despite their being available
  • Fix: When set to save maps, switching the detail level would just add maps to current rotation and not retrieve all maps at new detail level
  • Fix: If using city,state combination, weather.com URL for weather required additional click in browser

Product Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or higher

I have to say, this is one of my absolute favorite widgets! Being a pilot, weather is important to me. Being able to easily call up NOAA or Weather Channel maps is essential. Now this version gives us the ability to rotate through various saved maps! This widget just keeps getting better and better. Kudos to the author for creating something so useful! Thank you.
