Published a free simple SnoTel data app for Android

Downloaded to a samsung galaxy s2. Pretty cool other than always staying in africa if not using gps. Also no images /data for many of the bc points in the map. Otherwise pretty awesome

Downloaded it to an S3 running 4.1.2. Awesome app idea but it's not working for me. Crashes every time within 20sec. Right before it crahes though I do see all the snotel sites. Hopefully the bugs get worked out.

Just downloaded it an hour ago so I assume it was the latest version. Weird though, now it works, not crashing anymore.

Awesome. Working well on Galaxy S3 running cyanogen mod 10.1.2.

Any chance we could get a favorites list to save a couple stations?

Favorites. Yes, I've been dwelling on this. Just save the station(s) and then see the data not the map right?

Many of the points in BC don't have data. I am not sure if this is something that will change as the winter progresses. I only can find data for BC at the http://bcrfc.env.gov.bc.ca/ website. Is there a better site you all in Canada know about for water info? I'll update the app to start in NA rather than Africa.

Added a quick update to make it show over NA instead of Africa. Let me know if you still see this happening. Any idea on better data for BC?

Thanks for the NA update. working well. As for BC weather pillow data i will ask around and see what i can find and get back to you. I half wondered as well if it starts to increase with snow accumulation

Thanks for the Alberta data, I'll add that in here. Been working on getting the favorites running... I can smell winter in the air.

Do you get a crash or a force close black box that shows up? Do you see any points on the map for BC? Thanks for the message! I appreciate it.

Watch yourself here:

Hey SnoTel lovers. I've updated the app a bit. You should get it auto-updated this evening. Let me know if you have comments for or issues with the app.

- Updated BC data. You now get actual data, not just a lame graph.
- Updated BC data to include only the AUTOMATED Snow Pillows. The manual data is very unreliable from what I am seeing.
- Updated the USA map to include markers based on Snow Depth. (Legend at bottom of screen / color based icons)
- Updated the USA Marker to include Snow Depth on marker click.
- Updated Settings to include Clustering (if you'd like) and set your default Map Zoom Level.

Thanks everyone for the ideas and sticking with me on this app.

P.S. Alberta folks! I'm working getting your data in there. It is not presented by the gov in a very easy to use format like BC is...

App has really come around and I can see myself using on a regular basis now. What happened to the satellite imagery option?

Hi DanSkier, thanks for the comment! I'll add the different map types back in. I had some issues with the settings so I pulled it out. Next update will have it back I am hopeful #cantwaittoskideeppow

Features I am working on for the future:

- SnoTel Station ListView
- Favorites
- Showing Per State Only

I've been thinking of some kind of Temp / Snowfall Graph... Any ideas?

What would be "useful" is what i am working towards. Thanks all!
