Wanting to learn a bit more about c# I continued working on this little program.

Changes from the previous version:

- changed the way data is displayed, easier to read and use i think

- added the posibility to see pressure in inHg.

- added the ability to fetch and display raw TAF data (no decoding)

- fixed a few bugs introduced along the way

- made the filesize bigger:)

Tested on WM 6.5 and XP.

The only ‘big’ modification from V0.1 is the possibility to add multiple stations.

Added an option the download METAR data via ftp or http (default).

If there is an error with the update process, it will show the previous data.

Also changed the background color, as it was hard to read under bright sun.

Was looking for a time now for a small application to display METAR data, as a way to get near real-time weather update.

This weekend i had a bit more time at disposal and tried my luck with c# and this is what i made so far.

This is an alpha release (it may be the last one if I will be satisfied with what it makes so far )

It’s very simple.  It may download decoded data, or raw METAR (saves expensive bytes:) ) if you know how to read them. And you can get those updates at a regular time (1,5,15 or 30 minutes).

It’s been tested only on XP and WM 5.0 and 6.0 and i found no bugs so far.

If there are some future requests please leave a comment.

And the download link for the brave hearted :  Metar Mobile 0.1 - First alpha release, 103 Downloads
