Wayfinder is Mini-Weather Station
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech, Science, Transportation, Wireless / WiFi
We have found a rather unique device for those long road trips. The Wayfinder Z7500 has a digital compass with graphic heading indicator, an atomic clock with time and date, an altimeter, and barometer. It will also forecast the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours. With a backlit screen for night time viewing, the device mounts to your windshield by suction cup, and runs on an included lithium battery. The Wayfinder is available for $89.95.

Umbrella Issues Daily Report
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Internet, Misc. Tech, Science
For those of you who are never sure when to take your umbrella with you, the Ambient Forecasting Umbrella receives a daily report from Accuweather for about 150 U.S. locations. It also has blue LEDs that will flash if rain or snow is on the way. At a size of 41 1/2 x 58-inch diameter, the push-button opening umbrella also has network signal and low battery indicators, and runs on a single C battery (not included.) We think that for the $99.99 price, we would just as soon only have the handle, because if a huge thunderstorm is on the way, you definitely do not want to be under metal.

Turn Your TV Into a Weather Station
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Home Entertainment, Misc. Tech, Science
We have found a device that allows you to keep up with the current weather without waiting until the 11:00 news. The TV Weather Station works on your TV screen with data received from outdoor sensors up to about 200 feet. Hook it up with its included RCA cable and receive 11 weather conditions such as temperature, wind speed and chill factor, and barometric pressure from its sensors and radio transmitter. It also forecasts the next 12 hours based on trends from the past 3 days. The station will set you back $129.95 and requires 4 AA batteries (not included), but we still think it would be an improvement from the yardstick in a tin can that we have in our backyard.

We recently told you about Brookstone’s Sportscast Wireless Football Scoreboard, a small device that connects via satellite and provides up-to-the-minute football stats and scores. Well now there’s a weather forecast version using similar technology, which means no wiring, computers, or subscriptions required. It receives real-time temperatures (high and low) and conditions for up to five cities in your area via radio signals from AccuWeather.com. Also features a self-setting clock. Cool.
