Live field tracking
Share live positions and follow active field movement while weather is still changing.
Spotter tracking reimagined.
Bolt is field tracking for severe weather. It helps storm spotters and weather observers share fast position updates, view map context, and review outings afterward.
Bolt
Know where you are, what is around you, and what happened afterward.
Bolt starts with live GPS tracking for severe-weather field work. It is built for people who need their position, recent trail, and nearby weather context in one place while conditions are still moving.
That same foundation supports shared awareness for storm spotters, weather observers, meteorologists, and coverage crews who need a clearer picture of where reports are coming from.
Chase/session history
Save routes, timing, notes, and nearby weather context so an outing can be reviewed after the day is over.
Weather context
Keep radar, warnings, observations, and map notes close to the position data they belong with.
PlaceHub/placefile integration
Use Bolt PlaceHub and related placefile tools to bring additional map context into the software you already keep open.
Fast GPS/location updates
Bolt is built around fast GPS/location updates so your map view stays close to what is happening now.
Practical severe-weather tools
Bolt keeps the basics close at hand for storm spotters and weather observers without trying to turn the map into a toy.
PlaceHub
More context in the tools you already use.
Bolt PlaceHub provides practical overlays for meteorological software, helping you carry additional map context into radar tools and related workflows.
Custom overlays for storm work.
Keep useful outside layers close at hand when radar, reports, and supporting context all need to line up.
Session view
Follow the field now, review the day later.
Bolt keeps active field positions, recent travel, and supporting weather context in one place so the day stays readable while you are out.
Later, the same session data can be reviewed to understand where you went, what you saw, and how the weather evolved around the trip.
Map and session review in one workflow
Use the live map and session views to keep positions, trail, and weather context in view without leaving Bolt.
Updated in seconds
GPS fixes shouldn't lag.
During severe weather, a delayed position can already be stale. Bolt is built around frequent updates so the map stays closer to the field.
Bolt
Built for practical field work.
Bolt is built by Lightning Field Systems with the same priorities it asks of field software: clear map context, reliable location updates, and tools that stay useful during a storm day and afterward.
