I would appreciate the option to set the distance unit to KM.

#22I've applied for a patent for this very idea easily 10 years back but didn't get past my company. I've faced the issue when I travel from my office to home easily 1 hour journey without knowing when it'll rain where. Good execution. How accurate it'll be within city
Not very accurate if it's short distances. What challenges did you face with the patent application?
I've Applied through my company they've rejected within the company itself as we are financial institution and this patent doesn't do much to the company.

#23Nice tool, I like how it updates the weather based on the time you will be driving through it. When I've driven across the country on road trips we used flight planning software to dodge thunderstorms.

#24The route from Tallinn to Warsaw to Kyiv was pretty good! Nice tool.

I consulted for an Air Force project that was attempting to add a virtualization layer to ease hardware refreshes for client devices using software that does exactly this (in a data center if they have network, but disconnected if necessary as well). I have to imagine commercial flight planning has needed to know weather along the route as well. It's hard to believe this would have been patentable given all the prior art.

#28I'd like something like this for week-long+ road trips.
The day before we leave on a trip, I manually use 10-day forecasts from something like weather.com to help figure out what to pack and see if it's worth making scheduling adjustment. I'd like to know what the forecasted weather will be in each of the planned stops. High/low temperature and weather for each stop (we might be at a stop for many hours, so the weather can change), plus forecasts for any "overnight" cities, so we know what to expect while at the hotel/campground/etc.: at arrival time, the overnight conditions, and in the morning at expected departure time.
I'm more concerned about weather during planned stops than "weather on the way".
Something that integrates with https://furkot.com (the best road-trip planning tool ever!) would be great!

#29Interesting, this was exactly what my thesis was about, but was an Android app.

That was naive of me. I was searching this feature over internet in Google maps and other places I couldn't find any so I prepared one and applied through office . This was a practical problem I faced when I drove motor bike within city inget drenched when there is sudden burst of rains on the way
