Echo Show: anyone writing skills?
Would really like my show to show NOAA radar, would be handy on the road, e.g., https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/lite/NCR/GWX_loop.gif.
Forum Discussion
- i don't understand what you're asking.
- Echo Show is apparently something to do with Amazon stuff.

if you're asking about a weather radar site to monitor while traveling there are several to check out. i prefer those thst clear away the ground clutter making it easier to see the echo returns. weather underground has very good coverage but i use an iOS app called Radar US.ccchuck wrote:

well
I suggest you ask Amazon to add that to their alexa system
alexa is NOT an android device that developers can write apps for you to download- You'd have to hotspot Alexa to a phone for the internet connection and it doesn't have a GPS built in anyway. A tablet with GPS would be a better choice.
We do take Alexa one with us. I have 5. We go for months to the same spot so we sign up for high speed cable internet. My RVs router SSID and password are the same as my home router. Works great. Alexa does't even know she's left home. MrWizard wrote:

X2 Alexa is a lot like Android, there are thousands of 3rd party skills (free and paid) for the system, and more every day.
For the OP Check out the recently released Alexa Blueprint system, it might offer something you can use.- How about just download Accuweather on to your smart phone, it has a radar loop, and it's free.
- "My Radar" for Android or Windows is pretty good too. Customizable and simple to use. And it doesn't talk to me, or expect me to talk to it. :B
