Is weathermeister still a going concern?
What are your thoughts on the service. Good and bad.
From what I see it appears to be worth subscribing to.
Thanks

I have an update on FAA certification status.
What benefit to, say, VFR flyers, would certification add? Will there be an extra cost?
Thanks for the plugs!

Hi Dan
Can Weathermeister be used by a none US Citizen ( Canada ) and if yes can the province of residence be enter when subcribing for the service.
So far when selecting the country, all we get are US States.
I've got a couple long X/C coming up and would like to try it if possible.
Thanks

I'm not at all familiar with AvnWx past the link you provided, but a quick glance at it shows that it doesn't seem to do one of the things I love about Weathermeister and that is to show TFRs and Restricted and MOAs right on the map. Mouse hover over them and you get the info. I find it very intuitive for flight/route planning and weather. It also has great depth of information but organized in a way that makes it easy to determine what info you would like to bore down into and the one click gets you that info. It pulls Wx info from lots of different areas, organizes it for a pilot's ease of use, provides quick links to Airnav for airport info, compares fuel prices along a user defined radius from your route, one click digital sectionals etc. etc.
I've been using it for a few years now and the comfort level I have with it is great enough that I have no need to look for alternatives, even if they are cheaper. If anyone is just starting out on picking a package, then it would be interesting to see an ease of use, depth of info, cost comparison, but I doubt you could beat WeatherMeister. I'm just not interested in investing many hours of my time to thoroughly compare the products to see if I could save 15 bucks a year. Call me "big spender"! Also...no ads!
Do you use AvnWx? If so, maybe a pirep for the rest of use who have given a pirep on WeatherMeister...
