Personal Tracking Software Suggestions

#1 Postby Possum Trot » Wed Sep 08, 2004 4:02 pm

Does anyone have suggestions for inexpensive (or preferably free) software I can use on my personal computer to track the storm path and plot the forecasts? I want to be able to enter data.

I use "Eye of the Storm". You can download a trial here

http://www.starstonesoftware.com/eots/

It will retrieve the updates and plot them for you or you can do it yourself :-)
