Free Weather & Tides info on your mobile

[floatything]

Although possibly attempting to teach many a Granny to suck eggs, I thought this might be useful to some... I've spent a little time with a WAP emulator on my PC in order to avoid the costs of searching these WAP links to free weather and tide info for mobile phones. You will need a WAP enabled mobile - try putting these links in as bookmarks... they seem to work fine on mine...

Met Office Shipping Forecasts at:

http://wmlproxy.google.com/wmltrans...office.gov.uk@2Fdatafiles@2Foffshore.html/c=0

Tidal Predictions from NTSLF at:

http://www.pol.ac.uk/wap/index.wml

If you go there you can find predictions for your local area and bookmark it. For example, Devonport is at:

http://www.pol.ac.uk/cgi-bin/waptde?port=0002

Another good weather wap site is:

http://wap.weatheronline.co.uk

and also:

http://wap.weatherweb.net/marinehome.wml

which gives general situation, area forecasts, wind and weather for the UK France and Spain.

If you want to search for yourself you could also try dear old google on wap at:

http://wap.google.com/wml/

(Try looking up PocketDoctor which is also a mine of info on medical matters)

(I have no connection or interest in any of these sites - apologies if I've made any typos)

The <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.windguru.cz>WindGuru</A> site is pretty good if you sign up (free). Create a list of areas you're interested in, and then the wap interface is quite handy.

I noticed the other day that they've added the NWW3 and MM5 models to the usual GFS one on the wap site now.

Also a version of NavStation is also available for the smartphone that allows to to display tides without having to connect to the net each time.
