Description by Gerrit van Doorn(from Google Play)
Rain coming? Check Raindar! Animated Doppler radar on Google Maps for the US. Now also on Google TV and tablet!
Going somewhere and you're not sure if you need to bring your umbrella? Want to check if there's going to be fresh powder snow on the slopes in Tahoe tomorrow? Check Raindar! Raindar displays animated Doppler radar images on your Google Map. When you start Raindar it automatically focuses on your location so you can quickly see if there is precipitation coming your way. When pressing the search button on your phone you can now also search for locations within the US!
Raindar works out of the box but has many configuration options (see the recent changes page).
Color: - green/yellow/red is rain - blue/white is snow
Raindar can now also display storm tracks! It displays different icons for each of the 4 types of storms:
When clicking on one of those icons a dialog will appear with detailed information. The storm tracks also display the direction and speed of the storm in the form of an arc. The arc is split in 3 parts: 20, 40 and 60 minutes until the storm reaches that area.
On Google TV: - Use the D-pad for navigate up/down/left/right - Use the media forward/back or next/previous buttons to zoom in and out
