A method for transmitting environmental conditions information, which includes
receiving at least some environmental conditions information, scaling the received
information such that a scaled environmental conditions value is determined for
a particular vehicle, receiving an environmental conditions threshold value, comparing
the scaled value to the received threshold value, determining whether the scaled
value is greater than the received threshold value, and transmitting, if the scaled
value is greater than the received threshold value, at least some of the information.
Additionally, a method for displaying environmental conditions information, which
includes receiving at least some scaled environmental conditions information, wherein
the scaled information has been scaled to the particular receiving vehicle and
exceeds a predetermined threshold value for the vehicle, determining whether the
received information represents information that satisfies predetermined display
requirements, preparing, if the received information satisfies the predetermined
display requirements, the information for display, and displaying the prepared information.
