Provided by Theyr Weather’s Real-Time Precision Weather models

Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada -- MuskokaTech; a leading provider of GPS Navigation, Tracking, and mapping software for mobile devices, today announced the availability of Precision Weather Forecasts Overlays for their line of PathAway Apps for mobile smartphones and tablets. Released now for the Android Edition, and coming soon to the iOS products on iPhone and iPad.

Included for FREE, to showcase this incredible new feature, are 12 hour Weather Forecast overlays for Wind Speed/Direction, Temperature and Precipitation in low resolution (1.0 degree).

The Theyr Premium subscription delivers 6 day weather and ocean forecasts using the NOAA Global Forecast System (GFS) 0.5 and 1.0 resolution data, High resolution NMM 0.1 and 0.045 degree data for North America, 0.04 degree West Europe and 0.08 degree Southern Hemisphere data.
