WDT and Realtree have launched iMap as an iPhone (News - Alert) application. It’s the most advanced mobile weather technology available and it is fully customizable by the user. It is available for $3.99 at the iTiunes store. Once the application is active on the phone, the user simply needs to type the name of the location and the application drops a blue pin on the map. The radar is updated every 5 minutes and can predict storm paths. The detailed radar information, with its zoom option, can show the path even down to street level. Realtree also has an active Blog to enable its users to stay connected.

The vice president of sales for WDT, Mike Gauthier, an avid hunter himself, said that “Weather is a very high priority for any hunter or outdoor sportsman. With Realtree's mobile application, we are bringing the most powerful, innovative, and accurate weather, radar and satellite data available in the United States, transforming any iPhone into a reliable decision-making tool for the nation’s more than 23 million hunters.”
