Lengthy piece over at Yachtingnet on real-time weather data systems from WSI and WxWorx.

"Imagine a wall of gray between you and your destination. Ship�s radar sees only 24 miles ahead, and your little boat is not particularly speedy. With real-time weather sent from one of these providers to your chart plotter, you can expand your weather window and display the same NEXRAD Doppler-radar feed you see on television, complete with lightning flashes."
