    Starlink as RADAR alternative?

    I haven't found a really great use case for RADAR given the type of sailing/racing I do.  But how well can Starlink serve as an alternative?

    So, for example, if I'm sailing from Newport to Bermuda and I want to get a sense of localized cloud cover, potential for squalls, etc., is there a satellite imagery product that is real-time or close to real time that I can stream or download as an image directly from Expedition (or separately and georeference) that gives me a fairly reasoanble picture of what's going around wherever I am?

    Thx.

    Nothing like a freezing day in New England to get us thinking about Bermuda!  <LOL>
