HURRTRAK   ONLINE

Since 1995, we have been providing the HURRTRAK ONLINE service for customers with our software products...  HURRTRAK EM/Pro , HURRTRAK RM/Pro, and the Global tracking products, Global Tracker EM/Pro, Global Tracker RM/Pro and HURRTRAK Advanced.  Over that period, its reliability and timeliness has been nearly flawless.  With an internet connection, the latest hurricane tracking data is retrieved by your HURRTRAK system whenever new National Hurricane Center and National Weather Service data is updated on our servers and immediately applies this data to the HURRTRAK Databases.  This capability also allows us to put additional automation features into our products, i.e. automatic re-plot on tracking charts, the ability to trigger the automatic sending of email and printing of reports. (Check out the product descriptions for more information on those features).  In 2000, we took a big step by adding new information to the HURRTRAK ONLINE service.  This was done to support new capabilities added to the HURRTRAK EM/Pro and RM/Pro software....  Hurricane reconnaissance data, National Weather Service Precipitation forecasts, and selected hurricane forecast model projections.  In addition we added the Eastern Pacific storm data for users of the Global Tracker products.  In 2001, the HURRTRAK ONLINE internet software is fully integrated into the HURRTRAK software.  No more separate programs to execute.  It can run behind the scenes as you use the HURRTRAK system or you can manually select data.  We will also be looking into the possibility of including data from storms around the globe.  In 2002, Hurrtrak Online users saw additional benefits.  Satellite and Sea Surface tracking map information is downloaded, allowing users of the current version to utilize those functions.. and Global users now have access to data from around the world.  In 2003, we added the NWS NEXRAD radar images for use as background tracking maps.  In 2004, we have added data to support the H*Wind Display function and in 2007 Hurrtrak Online includes NHC wind probabilities.

HURRTRAK ONLINE with an internet connection is fully integrated into the 2008 versions of the HURRTRAK systems
