Highway Weather
How does Highway Weather show weather conditions along my specific route?
You simply enter your starting point and destination, and the app draws a line on the map with weather icons placed all along it. This gives you a mile-by-mile view of conditions like rain, fog, or wind, rather than just a forecast for the city you're headed to.
Can I use Highway Weather without a cellular signal?
Yes, you can download the route forecast while connected to Wi-Fi at home, and it will still work when you lose signal in remote areas. This offline maps feature is great for long drives through hills or open country where data coverage is spotty.
Why does the app freeze or lock up when I try to zoom in on the map?
Some users have reported that zooming in during active weather can cause the app to freeze for several seconds. If this happens, try closing and reopening the app, or ensure you have the latest version installed, as this is a known issue the developers are working to fix.
How do I stop the full-screen video ads from playing sound and interrupting my use?
Those ads can be frustrating, but you can mute your phone's media volume before opening the app to avoid the sudden sound. Unfortunately, the free version includes frequent full-screen ads, so if they bother you too much, consider upgrading to the paid ad-free version.
How does Highway Weather compare to using a standard weather app like WeatherBug for driving?
Unlike general weather apps that only give you the forecast for your destination city, Highway Weather shows conditions along your entire route with specific hazard alerts like 'FOG NEXT 15 MILES.' It's much more practical for road trips because you can see what's coming mile by mile, not just what to expect when you arrive.
