How it works
Many of the weather stations and webcams are set up and operated by us at Haugastøl. In addition, road status and some weather data are fetched from the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen) API. The app brings it all together – data is updated continuously. You need internet to fetch the latest data; some content may be available offline after download.
