does it give you a good idea about upcoming storms

I don't know. I never got that far with it. My iPhone is way more informative than that thing in my opinion. But, of course you would need a good connection for that! If you are in a remote area then the iPhone wouldn't work. Plus I don't think that's a good idea to just head out with the cell phone. But back to your question I really don't know because lacking maps I couldn't use it

It is a location device that has some tide tables but it is not a weather device and has no storm or weather info.

It does not give weather information. You need a radio for that to tune into the marine or land forecasts.

No, there are no weather features on this Marine GPS. It is very good for position on the water and tracking, and compass.

The 78s, and 78sc, which are the more expensive models you can select at the top of the listing, can give you barometric pressure, which is very useful in predicting weather, if you study it enough.

had strong winds the other day and it did well, but should a hurricane come i am sure we will open sections for the wind

If its properly installed it will stand up to winds very well. We have had winds from light to all day 25mph winds and storms up to 75mph we have had it almost a year no problems.

Yes, it really is quite rare. I hope you have a blessed day, too. I don't know where you live, but I live in Newburgh, NY (60 miles north of NYC) and they are predicting severe thunderstorms tomorrow. The utility company has already warned of potential power outages. So...I think I'll get my Ambient radio out and be sure it's fully charged!

It seems pretty up to date. I think they are serious about staying current. That said, I'm not a geographical expert so I'm probably not the best person to answer this question.

Yes, but I'll have to pull the cover to see it or look for the booklet. I'll take a look tomorrow if it isn't raining to hard, Jim

I thought it did, too, given that it's supposed to provide "automatic warning" -- but it doesn't, unless the unit is turned on (if you're listening to AM or FW, it will automatically switch to weather station). Found it out after two tornado warnings didn't set it off -- the tornados that went through southern Indiana this week. I confirmed that with a Midland tech. Good device in a lot of ways, but I gotta by one that warns of dangerous weather whether it's turned on or not.

Sorry I don't know as I just bought it to read a book by in the event of another hurricane Sandy.

I noticed the same thing on mine...everything but tornado warning. Have you investigated that further or had a warning actually come up on your alerts?

I am also interested in learning weather or not we will have access to the Amazon prime app.

I suppose it depends on the frequency of your local NWS. I've had a couple of these, and one of the weather channels does pick up the NWS broadcast in Phoenix.

Jan 2013 Out in Tampa Bay works fine worry about chart's after major storms

depends on where you are I guess. I don't think it would handle heavy storms, but rain and light snow should do fine.

So far it has been great. In the last couple of weeks we have had some really bad storms here. I thought for sure I was going to come home to find the screen torn or shredded. It has worked great with the highwinds. One suggestion would be to spend the money on good zip ties . I went with some cheaper ones and now I'm replacing them.

Only if disaster is imminent. It will last several months but not much more.

We just had a couple pretty good rainstorms over the last couple days and it still works fine. It is directly in the weather also.

I don't believe so. You'll receive all alerts for your area, regardless of weather type (flood, high winds, etc.).
