Description:
Born out of a need to keep abreast of what the latest tropical depression/tropical storm/hurricane is doing, I created Tracker, a Palm OS application for keeping up with the whereabouts of the latest storm.
Being that I am a Florida resident, the map covers the Atlantic basin with a displayable area of 10 - 50 degrees latitude and 60 - 100 degrees longitude. You can enter wind speed using MPH or knots and pressure using either inches of mercury or millibars.
The category of the storm can be automatically determined from the wind speed. On the map, the different category strengths are represented by different colors.

This is a great program if you are a weather junkie and in to tracking these massive storms. Some tracks have been fascinating after the fact, and the new ability to overlay multiple tracks is a good feature. 2 minuses keep it from 5 stars. The first is its tendency to crash if a storm isn't loaded and the second is the inability to plot coordinates east of 60 degrees, meaning you frequently have to catch storms long after they've formed. Otherwise, a great job from a great Palm programmer. Nice job, Carl.
