Weather radar overlay / user specified height for planning

Hi,

I use SD as a professional Helo-Pilot and I think it is the best solution for flight planning/navigation available in europe. There are two things I miss right now:

  • there a lot of free sources for weather radar overlays. It would be really nice to be able view precipitation radar on the map during flight (perhaps even with lightning data)
  • it would be very nice to be able to specify a standard height over ground (not altitude) for flight planning. every leg is automatically calculated with a user defined height over the highest point below a leg corridor.
Thank you!

A possible solution for weather data inflight, although not cheap, is:
