Anyone see this weather system yet - any good? Real-Time radar:

Seems way too pricey for what is essentially all free information (to a
vessel that already has satellite internet connection). The quick access to
data bases in useful format provides a lot of the product's value. I have
always thought that commercial weather products might eventually eliminate
the need for the US government to duplicate and compete with the private
market in this area. But the price of this package, using information that
the provider has little if any cost in obtaining, is not competitive in my
opinion.
