Getlost Maps Email Weather Bot
**SERVICE PAUSED PENDING UPGRADES**
In testing, the bot accepts email and replies with tomorrow’s weather forecast for a given location. Good for winlink over PAT or similar where you have an email connection but not broader internet access.
It doesn’t do anything else … but one … day it will do satellite images and weather maps and that rain radar thing and long range forecasts and even send you a map of where you are and what’s around you. Right now it just does tomorrow’s weather.
Usage **SERVICE NOT ACTIVE PENDING UPGRADES**
Send a plain text email to [email protected] using the following format. Any other format won’t work, because it’s a very simple bot and it’s not very clever at the moment.
| [Subject] Weather [or weather] [Body line 1] Latitude (eg 35.2 or -35.1 for southern hemisphere, do not include the word latitude, just the number) [Body line 2] Longitude (eg 145.7 for east, -145.7 for west) | Example: |
