There was a scientist from Charles darwin Uni that proposed using the mobile phone network for internet access to provide a similar facility as provided by XMWX. I have to say, the method does work. I have nav software with moving map and gps that uses the mobile network to download current radar images for the current position, provided there is mobile coverage and metrad coverage for the position.
LOL, hope its not the Optu#s network
