Access Hurricane advisories on your mobile
Comments 0 | Recommend 0New service from National Hurricane Center
In an effort to reach as large an audience as possible, including mobile customers, the National Hurricane Center has developed a few alternate versions of its website. The following is a brief description of each version:
Text-only: This version is optimized for those users with computers on dial-up or other very slow Internet connections. All areas of the NHC website are accessible, but most areas will have images disabled (with some exceptions). The text-only version is available at: www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.shtml?text
Mobile/PDA: Offering critical hurricane advisories and marine forecasts, the PDA version of NHC's website is best suited for those users with SmartPhones, PDAs, or other modern cell phones capable of displaying basic HTML web pages. A selection of satellite imagery with zoom capability is also offered. These PDA pages can be directly accessed at: www.nhc.noaa.gov/mobile
WAP: Similar to the PDA pages described above, NHC's WAP pages were developed several years ago for cell phone customers. Although the WAP pages are very similar to the PDA pages described above, the technology is older and has restrictions on file size and content length. If you have been using NHC's WAP pages on your phone, you might try the new mobile pages described above. The WAP pages can be accessed at: www.nhc.noaa.gov/index.wml
Other NWS Mobile Weather Links
weather.gov in basic HTML: mobile.weather.gov
weather.gov in WAP (WML) format: cell.weather.gov
