Weather Central and Virtual Earth on the iPhone

  • Article

Tomorrow, Weather Central is launching their new MyWeather application for the iPhone and it is pretty darn slick. Okay, sick! The application will provide you with weather updates in tabular format (iPhone tabular format is like candy), but more importantly it will also include weather overlays atop of Virtual Earth maps. You wanna know the temperature in San Diego...well, that's an easy it's 70 degrees. Easiest job in the world?...weather person in San Diego. Ok, how about somewhere like Maui, Orlando or Seattle where the weather can be somewhat unpredictable? Preset your locations on your iPhone and stay tuned. Plus, view the map with the slick iPhone interface. The best part (IMHO) is the weather overlays on the Virtual Earth maps which you can turn to landscape mode for a more comprehensive view of a specific area. Absolutely, incredible!

"MyWeather Mobile is all about personalization and interactivity. It brings your weather to you, wherever you are, wherever you want it. Our GPS feature means you get precise weather exactly where you are—be it San Francisco, Denver or Whiskey Jug, Wyoming.

You can touch it and shape it. MyWeather uses Microsoft’s Virtual Earth technology to display radar maps in stunning HD-quality that you can pinch, flick and zoom. Pinpoint your exact location and drill down to street level.

Interact with hour-by-hour forecasted temps, wind speeds and precipitation by simply touching the screen and selecting the hour you want. Plan your day your way. This data is available for hundreds of locations in the U.S. Learn more "

For those of you who have an iPhone, this is a great application for download! Lucky!
