Weather as living art

By General Aviation News Staff · September 2, 2021 ·

METARmaps.com has upgraded its portfolio of distinctive maps, as well as sectional charts, which the company touts as “living art” for aviation and weather enthusiasts.

Version 3 of the maps is based on more than three years of customer comments and manufacturing experience, according to Richard Freilich, company founder.

In addition to displaying the standard four colors of flight conditions, by using a series of animations, METARmaps now display wind, gust, and lightning in real-time to provide a more complete weather picture at a glance, he reports.

Network connection, weather animations, nighttime dimming, the off button, and more are directly controlled by your cell phone without the need to install a separate app, he added.
