In the animation, the time down and one's own position is not natural. Either one pushes the position pin in the vicinity of the time. It would be nice if you knew what the Past / Current / future (forecast). Perhaps by changing the pins and place names in color. 3 colors (old satellite image, a new satellite image and forecasting Images) rich.
Still 5 points because it is a real help.
The News & weather app from Google has a 2D representation of the rainfall. Something might be interesting.
