Let's imagine we have a device that can warn us in advance of a hurricane, hail, or snowfall. Just imagine how invaluable it would be to pack up and head home half an hour before the downpour, rather than trying to pack up a tent or save a barbecue while wet and raining.

What if I told you that weather forecasting isn't all it's cracked up to be? That this device would also warn of high levels of various pollutants and large particles in the air, high carbon dioxide levels, excessive ultraviolet radiation, alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, and strong electromagnetic radiation.
And that's not all. Just imagine you liked a new tourist route and want to share it on a forum or in a messenger with your friends. At best, you could draw it on a map, take a photo, and send it. But with this device, you can share the exact coordinates of the route, as it contains a geolocation sensor, and all coordinates and sensor readings are recorded in a log file.

Thanks to the interactive map created by the device, your friends can see everything from the temperature during your trip to the carbon dioxide level or high radiation levels along the entire route.
