    Graphic display in this app is awesome.

    Really easy to use, not so geeky as other radar programs, but it has plenty of horsepower, with great features like customizable alerts to cell phones, selectable topo map display with lots of overlays.

    Way cool. I ordered the cd that comes with lots of extra content.

    Interesting program, unique UI though some of the windows felt clunky while staying in the theme of the UI. Not sure its worth $40 to me.
