Weather App?

[SGilbert]

Is there an iphone weather app that works with CarPlay?

While in my car or motorhome, I use CarPlay exclusively.
When I need weather info, is there a weather app that works with carplay? I cannot find one.

I've got 8 on my cell phone, but only 1 works with CarPlay, and it is useless! (MyRadar)

All I want is present temp, future precipitation & temps. Local animated radar would be a plus.

Yes, I could use my iPhone, but that would mean taking my eyes off the road and violate the laws most everywhere!

If you use CarPlay, then you are using an iPhone. You can always ask Siri, what the temperature and it'll say it and display (on 2022 Ram it displays. Same with wind speed, etc. As for local radar, I found an app that works great on Apple CarPlay and it's called MyRadar. It will show the local radar based on your current location.

Apple App Store: MyRadar

I use Drive Weather & My Radar on iPhone/Car Play.

FWIW, My Radar works on my phone, but just displays a multi state map on my car's display (14" wide) and nothing else. Won't even zoom in or out. Useless to me.
Will try Drive Weather and also trying Zoom Earth that someone suggested.

As a traveling camper, I like to know what's ahead, not only for the road ahead, but the evening and next day or two.

Zoom Earth will not even show up on CarPlay. Going to ditch that.

Drive Weather is a GPS, direction type app. On the phone, after I enter a destination (I have Waze & Apple Maps for that!!!), Drive Weather works on the phone, but does not work with CarPlay except to show weather 'bubbles' that cannot be touched to decipher. Going to ditch that too.

As stated above, My Radar works on my phone, but just displays a multi state map on my car's display (14" wide) and nothing else. Won't even zoom in or out. Useless to me. I use Radar HD on my phone-don't need another.

Still open to suggestions, however.

Sounds like you need a phone or tablet for the data your after.

CarPlay and android auto are very limited and not very good at much more than navigation.

I would add a tablet or phone to your mix and have the best of both.

Personally I use 2 tablets in the Rv. One for navigation and the other for running Bluefire and weather.

In addition to my main 10" GPS unit that I run CarPlay, I also have my iPhone dash mounted between me and the 10". I'll use that, but, even though I have the large screen iPhone, my 79 year old eyes prefer the big screen.
You can slightly see my phone mount to left of GPS unit.

An iPad may be worthy investment if you have dash space

We have an old iPad2 that cannot even be updated. I may give that a try.

I did that for a bit to see if the view was worth while. I ended up upgrading to have all the apps work properly
