Google Maps of the Sky?
 
There's an app called "TURBULATE" that shows your flight path and the line changes colors based on actual pilot reports and aviation forecasts so you can see what your flights gonna be like. It kinda reminds me of the traffic feature in "Google Maps." You just put in your flight number and it brings it up. What's kinda cool is if you get online inflight you can actually make reports too and add data to the system so maybe pilots could see to find smoother rides for us. Pretty neat. It looks like its just available for iPad 2 and higher right now. Anyone else use this? It's free! Here's the link to the app....

Very interesting. What do the orange regions on the map mean? Are they areas of turbulance?
