The normal RadarAlive! display shows weather data overlayed on a map showing cities, states, counties and roads. A status line displays the radar site code, product name, radar mode, and image time. Buttons across the bottom allow zoom in and out, looping (animation), menu selection of the radar product, and instant centering on the user's position.
