DNA Brief

Signal Summary

Storm Radar’s CarPlay app can show a map of the user’s location, switch between satellite and default map views, and add radar, cloud, and precipitation layers. It also displays current conditions alongside the ETA and expected conditions at the destination; the update adds home-screen widgets and redesigns the Apple Watch app.

Why It Matters

Apple Weather does not support CarPlay, so Storm Radar gives drivers a third-party way to view weather information alongside a trip, including conditions at the destination and weather-map data.
