⚡ Spark Radar

🚨We've moved!!🚨 Spark Radar is now faster than ever and accessible at sparkradar.app . busybird15.github.io/beta/sparkradar will now be just a backup.

We've had global METARs ever since METARs were even introduced- over 2 months. Just saying.

Spark Radar is getting rewritten using a faster, better mapping library with GPU encoding, meaning it will be much smoother! Check out the progress anytime at sparkradar.app/beta!

@spacebanana12 That's an error in the actual data- I am going to fix this in the rewrite (🚨 spoiler alert🚨).

@spark_radar Forgot to upload screenshots 🤦

@spark_radar What is this yellow box near Republic, KS?

@Zachwx1_ Yeah. It was mentioned in the Discord back when I shut it down why. Basically it was just a rip off of AtticRadar and that obviously wasn't good.

@spark_radar one problem

Introducing Spark Radar Pro! 🧵1/3 I am thrilled to announce the release of Spark Radar Pro! SRP is an advanced radar application for your PC that features more radar products, better uptime, NEXRad file parsing, and more features that Spark Radar does not support.

Nice picture! And what a coincidental username! 😀

What are your ideas for SparkRadar 🤔? Let us know in the comments!

Spread the word! You'll even be able to see the map of spotter positions spelling out "Gizmo" on Spark Radar! Simply make sure your Spotter Network spotter positions are turned on in settings.

@SteinerZach @WxFront RIP @RadarOmega - With all the new free, better radars coming out recently, it appears that Omega will soon become a thing of the past if they don't come up with something.

Got the premium subscription for @WxFront today. After throughly giving it a try, this was my reaction:

New Spark Radar Update! What's new: - NEW: You can now search for radar stations along with locations. - NEW: Spotter Network positions and reports are now available. - Enhanced readability of elements / UI improvements. Of course, these features are free forever. Enjoy!

@MaxVelocityWX Congrats Max!

93% on today's final exam... looks like I'm graduating in less than 2 weeks with a bachelor's in meteorology :)

@ZZachwx1 @WxWiseApp @MyRadarWX @RadarScope Hello!
