weather

i used to use spb weather and had a few places set up nicely but i cant seem to get it working since i flashed to wm6 and trying to reinstall it. im trying pocket weather too but to get my town showing up I'm really struggling. I live in Milford Haven in West Wales. I had verkhoyansk and death vally set up too for the greatest temperature differences and it took me ages to set up finding the right sources and town codes but I really cant remember how it is done. I can't load the tsk file I backed up.

How do i get weather set up and what is the best one to use?

I too had been using SPB Weather, but I was completely dissatisfied with the way it handles (or I should say, DOESN'T handle) current conditions. The latest three days seem to be nothing more than what the forecast was from three days ago.

I recently have been toying with SBSH Pocket Weather, and I feel it's a somewhat better product, offering a myriad of detail that is lost with SPB. I like the map abilities, relative humidity, barometric pressures, sunrise/sunset/zenith (handy for photography), and a lot of it's other features.

But it too, lacks in certain areas, and it's a beast to set up.

I'm in the USA, and although I can't configure my actual zipcode easily, I CAN use the national stations that surround my town, and it's forecasts and current conditions seem to work flawlessly.

FWIW, though, both products work fine, for what each one is capable of, running on WM6.

SBSH has a great forum...though it's pretty quiet right now. All the same, you can probably get all the help you need from that source, more than what you might find here.

thanks alot. the hardest thing was finding my town it was easier finding some obscure place in russia than my town in Wales! and finding the data source files from each weather site I still don't know how i did it at the time. i will look into SBSH thank you.

i prefer sbsh it allows proxy internet connections which works better with my corp connection not to mention it has more weather detail.
