The WindTrack Network

WindTrack can connect to your internet-attached weather stations to retrieve wind related information and allow all WindTrack users access via their cell phone/PDA. If your weather station software can report METAR-formatted data, we can connect to your station and add it to our sailors-only Network!

If you dont already have a weather sensor with a weather station, the first thing to do is to find a personal station to purchase. These range anywhere from small units that mount to your house and connect directly to your weather station, to fully contained solar powered cellular or UHF broadcasting systems that can wirelessly transmit to your weather station from 40+ miles away (or from anywhere if your in cellular range)! This link describes some of the long-distance wireless options from Davis Instruments and a FAQ regarding those options. I have provided some links if you are interested in researching/purchasing a station/sensor to add to the WindTrack network.

For software, there are several software packages that allow you to publish METAR information to the internet. I have some of those listed in the gutter to the left. It is important to purchase or upgrade to the correct software... dont just read the word "Internet" and assume it can publish METAR data. Once you have the correct software, the key is to configure a web page and publish it containing only the METAR text information within the <body> tag. For example:

<html> <head></head> <body> 2004/04/19 03:54 K001 190354Z 22021G26KT 8SM VCTS -RA BKN038 OVC080 14/12 A2963 RMK AO2 PK WND 25033/0310 WSHFT 0303 LTG DSNT ALQDS SLP030 P0034 T01390122 </body> </html>

You then contact me on the Personal Weather Station connectivity topic in the forums (under Support) with the URL, station name and location, I set you up with a unique station ID (in the above example, you are "K001"), and you've been officially added to our sailors-only network!
I have only two requirements thereafter:

Your software updates the page at least once an hour, 24 hours a day, everyday
You contact me when you decide to stop participating. All too often, personal station networks (such as weather underground, or weatherforyou) have more than 50% dead or outdated stations participating. This is frustrating, and I will delete any station that has not updated its information in 1 month.
