The convenience is that it only the requires the phone switched on for a few seconds, and of course it is independent of the cockpit noise level,and stored in the phone for as long as necessary. The site for details is http://www.wxsupport.com (they start with a free offer, but even if you pay, its better than being dependent on asking the FIS.)
