Very interesting application.
At present, it is quite buggy. It may work better on a Win XP machine than my Win 7.
In the 10 minutes I tried to use this application, I discovered that "Run as Administrator" must be checked to install it and must be checked to run it (and, of course to uninstall it). I found that it has an insufficient number of weather stations. The closest to my home was 90 miles away and in an entirely different weather zone ... that is, it was close to sea level while my home is at 6200 feet above sea level. It does, however, allow the user to enter latitude and longitude, but it seems to ignor that. I was not able to successfully get the application to center on my location. It wanted to center, first, on the major city closest to my home, and then, as I zoomed in, on a location about 200 miles northwest of that area. And the application crashed a couple of times. I made no attempt to find out why.
This looks like it may be a very good tool in the future, but, at present, it is obviously still in the "Alpha" stage, certainly not yet ready to be called a "Beta" application. So I have uninstalled it, but will try it again when it is updated.
Good luck to the application author. You have lots of work ahead to make this application useable.
