I've installed the Android version of MyRadar and it looks very good. The radar imagery looks great even for Australian locations.

Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to work on Android Auto (yet). But I'll keep trying.

Same. It's not showing in the launcher list in settings. Weather&Radar is my Android Wing radar go to. It's acceptable for that.

 

Fred,
The CEO just looked it in the app store and it's $3.99. When you say it doesn't cost anything, are you speaking of this version or something else?

There is a standard version (free) and a Pro version which is $3.99.
I believe the Pro version has "High Definition" radar and more features......might be worth the small one time fee.

 

I've been using MyRadar Pro on Android (a one-time purchase) for a few years. I have it running on one of my phones, and it helps me tremendously, like circumnavigating storms, which I did today on my way to Arkansas.

I just updated the app but it looks like they have a subscriber premium option called RouteCast ($3.99 monthly or $19.99 annually). I'm wondering if you need that portion or if it will be available free to the people who purchased the app.

 

When I said free, I meant that there weren't monthly subscription costs. I just paid the $3 or $4 for the Pro version of the app several years back, and it works on Car Play without any more fees involved. I'm not using RouteCast, just MyRadarPro so I can see the radar. I think RouteCast has some other options for showing road or route weather.

 

So the $4 is a one-time cost?

 

Yes...but be warned that the Google Maps overlap function isn't available yet for Android (except for Beta users). According to Fred, it's working for Apple Carplay.

It's totally worth the $4 even without the overlay option, in my opinion.

 

I own a 2023 GL1800 DCT Tour. The system info shows: HG.ACM.21.11.28.12.04.00 as the installed version. What is the latest version please??

 

You have the latest version installed.

 

Do your research before assuming $3.99 gets you all you’ll need. It may be possible that some of the early adopters of this app were grandfathered into some features that are now only available in in-app purchases.

There are in-app purchases associated with this up to $30 / year. And when you visit the developer’s website, it is not clear to me as to what features are included vs not included for your $3.99 one-time vs $30 recurring.

Also, review their privacy policy on what they collect and share with affiliate companies (i.e. marketing purposes).

 

I'm not using Google Maps. When I updated the app to the latest version, MyRadarPro just showed up on my CarPlay screen. When I select that app in Car Play, it displays the screens I posted images of above.

It is just an app that appears to have gotten approval for Car Play. It may have additional for-pay features, but I'm not using any of them. Weather On The Way is another free Weather App that works on Car Play. It just appears to me that Apple is finally loosening up the controls on Weather apps for Car Play.

 

Looks like if you want to use the routing features (RouteCast), you have to pay, but the basic radar image is free. Thats really all I need anyway.

MyRadar for iPhone now works with CarPlay, bringing weather maps to the road - 9to5Mac

Fired it up in the workshop........looks good IMHO, have to give it a try on the road for my next ride.
Thanks Fred for the heads up......

 

Brian, how much was the Pro version of the app?

 

 

I just got the Pro version for $3.99. Looks good.

 

... Renews at $29.99/year

 

We have been having a lot of high winds lately in Missouri so I turned on winds in settings. Very cool graphics. Now I can see the high wind areas.

 

Yup.......best $3.99 I've spent in a long time! 😊

 

I will happily pay the four bucks as soon as they get the Android Auto version working.

It looks good on the phone. Not sure where they source the radar imagery in Australia (I'm sure it's not from the local wx radar stations) but we had showers here yesterday and the MyRadar display was very close to the local radar (and to what was falling on my roof).

 

I used it today. 'Storms were headed my way and I could see them all clearly. It was great ! I paid for the $3.99 upgrade.

 

After seeing this thread, I opened MyRadar and there was a notification that it's available with Car Play now. So I went out to my truck and plugged in my Iphone. Sure enough MyRadar showed up on the Car Play screen. As far as I know I don't have MyRadar Pro, just MyRadar, which I've used for years and as far as I can remember I've never paid anything for it. It seems to work well in the truck. Next time I have the GW out I'll try MyRadar and see how it works with the bike.

 

For those of us who don't use b/t headsets, wasn't there a previous post discussing the use of a dongle to achieve the desired result of having carplay show up on the screen?

 

This is great. I hadnt heard of this app till now. Used it this morning on my work commute and it was great to see the weather moving as I was riding in. Thanks! And yes I was able to view it on CarPlay on my 2018 GW.

 

I have loaded the MyRadar app and it runs fine on my 2018 with ACP.

My question is how do you change the three left side app icons to read the three you want?

I moved the icons on my iPhone and can get them to change on the main icon screens but cannot get the three left side apps/icons to change.

If I launch MyRadar it replaces my Apple maps icon. If I then launch Apple maps, it replaces my MyRadar icon. I want both MyRadar and Apple maps icons as two of the three left side icons.

If you notice Fred has MyRadar, Music and Phone on his left side.

Brian has MyRadar, Phone and an app icon I'm not familiar with.

Must be a way.

Those 3 icons on the left of the main ACP screen are the most recently used APPs......they cannot be permanently arranged in a specific order.
You can blame Apple for that, not Honda.....
They usually show (from top to bottom) the last used application in this order:

1. Map APP (Waze, My Radar, etc)
2. Music APP (Music, Sirius/xm, etc)
3. Communication APP (Phone, Message)

The APP selection screens can be arranged in a specific order by arranging them on your iPhone under General/Carplay/Honda Goldwing/Customize.
Then drag them in whatever order you would like or delete APPS from showing up in ACP.

 

It works exactly the same on Android Auto. The three icons at the bottom of the screen are the most recently used - you can't permanently assign them.

You can change what appears on the main AA menu screen and the order they appear by accessing the Customize Launcher option under Android Auto settings on your phone.

 

I will be buying the pro version of this app today. Thanks for the info.

 

I loaded the app and it does work with my carplay. However I can't seem to get it to zoom in. The zoom works on the app but not in car play? Anyone have an answer to this?

Figured it out. You have to have the pro version to zoom in. After I spent my $4 I was able to do it.

 

I just discovered that the latest update of MyRadarPro now works on Apple Car Play on the Wing. I've been using this app for years because it is one of the better weather radar apps out there. Now we can use it on the Wing, and it doesn't cost anything.

When I open this app in car play I get the dark screen that you show. How do you get to the screen that is showing below that one?

I should have pushed a little further. A little fiddling and there it is. Systems, roads, then playing with the menu.

 

FYI, I used this app on my trip out west recently and it worked flawlessly. I also had weather radar on my Zumo XT, but didn't really use it much because this app worked so well and the radar on it was very accurate. I only lost it a few times when I was out of cell tower range. I actually like it better than the OEM Honda Navigation because you can see the roads better with it. You can see it up on the screen several times in this video.

 

Pro version is now $5.99 on the App Store

 

And I think all that does is start you without ADs.

Can anyone confirm the app is useful well enough without paying for annual premium?
