I don't know about European coverage yet. Try <A HREF="www.wsi.com">www.wsi.com</A> I do see that they 
have an office in Birmingham, UK. By the way, WSI is the system that a lot of 
FBO's use here in the States for pilot flight planning.

The cost was about $3,200 plus about $500 to wire and setup. It also has a 
subscription fee of $50/month for unlimited use, but one has to sign a one year 
contract.. No per use cost. It updates every 5 minutes while operating.  

There is an effort to get them to go to a monthly or quarterly basis for 
those who do not fly in the wintertime or for some other reason.

While $50/ month seems a hefty fee, nothing can replace weather knowledge, 
particularly when flying in Florida in the summertime.
