There are two things I miss right now: there a lot of free sources for weather radar overlays. It would be really nice to be able view precipitation radar on the map during flight (perhaps even with lightning data) it would be very nice to be able to specify a standard height over ground (not altitude) for flight planning. every leg is automatically calculated with a user defined height over the highest point below a leg corridor. Thank you! Jens Edited 11/10/2013 3:30:54 PM by kobaje

In my case flying a helo mainly at or below 2000 Agl it is quite good most of the time. An option would be to display the rain data only when an cellular update had occured since the last i.e. 20 minutes. For non-cellular users the function could be restricted to planning only.
