Description

Live NOAA base reflectivity radar on top of a USGS topographic map, centered on your location or a specified location.  Customize with time, date, health stats, and/or National Weather Service conditions, forecasts and alerts. Four text lines, three zoom levels, and your choice of colors. United States only.

- Full-screen live radar over a topographic basemap, with a marker at your position
- Follows you as you move, or pin it to a fixed latitude and longitude
- Three zoom levels — City (100 km), State (250 km), or Region (500 km) across the screen
- Four configurable text lines: time, date, weekday, steps, distance, calories, sleep, heart rate, battery, Bluetooth, radar age, lat/long and more, each with its own size, including shrink-to-fit
- Custom text and outline colors — every line gets a halo so it stays readable over busy map areas
- National Weather Service weather: current conditions, today's forecast, high/low, and active alerts, in Fahrenheit or Celsius
- Alert-aware lines that show your normal weather until a watch or warning takes over, and clear themselves when the alert expires even if your phone is out of reach
- Severe alerts pushed to your Pebble timeline as pins that last as long as the alert does
- Translucent, opaque, or radar off entirely — it makes a fine plain topo map face
- A Bluetooth badge appears the moment your phone goes out of range, so you know the radar has stopped updating
- Frugal by design: imagery is cut to 16 colors before it leaves the phone, an unchanged refresh isn't sent to the watch at all, and weather is only fetched when a weather line is actually configured

Radar, basemap, and weather come from NOAA, the USGS National Map, and api.weather.gov — all free, no API keys, no accounts.
