I found this site/app in Sailing World magazine, have any of you guys tried it?

http://www.windalert.com/#search

I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble to load it on my Droid phone?

Any other (better) wind apps out there?

Thanks.

I have it Timbo. It is a good resource but i find its

live

reports are not usually current. I use several wind apps/pages and they usually differ on the forcast by 10-20%.

I use iwind surf (not an app, just a site) wind guru and windalert (i think wind alert is an app from iwind surf .. as it is promoted by that site)
