what the title says... anyone has any idea?
Provided you have:
-gps2city plugin
-zips.dat installed
-GPS correctly configured in RR
-No GPS application running (or use XPort)
It should just be setting the localdatacaptureinterval=X setting to have it load the weather by current GPS city/location every X minutes. You should also be able to execute 'reloadweather' to load the weather from your current location if the above requirements are met.
thanks, guino.. very interesting.. i will try that. The Zips.dat only includes USA coordinates, right? we need to find cities for the rest of the world...
can u explain the format of the file eg:
"00641","+18.250027","-066.698957","UTUADO","PR","UTUADO"
a. the first is just a number? (EDIT: it is the US zip code..ok)
b. longitude
c. laatutude
d. ????
e. ???
f. ???
i just want city and country
ok i used the search button :) solved most of my problems!!
never the less.. i have 1 question..
i don't care about the zip codes of the country, what can i put instead of the zip codes to just ignore that..?
EDIT: solved everything.. i created a zips.Dat for Greece
here is a nice link for all countries (no zip codes i am afraid, only coordinates)
http://www.world-gazetteer.com/
there's seems to be a unicode problem when the city is in greek, it works fine in RR and displays OK but the weather returns nothing when it refreshes
"w_dnam"
"w_tm"
"w_lat"
"w_lon"
"w_sunr"
"w_suns"
etc
return nothing.. they are not populated.. they only display when i select from a weather preset
How does it search for weather? using CURRENTCITY? or CURRENTSTATE?
This is my .dat for the france !
An another link:http://download.geonames.org/export/zip/
The weather plugin will search using: CURRENTCITY, CURRENTSTATE ... considering how wunderground works, I'd make sure CURRENTCITY returns the city name and that CURRENTSTATE always returns your COUNTRY NAME. (So it always searchs in the format: CITY, COUNTRY -- this is how international searches should be done)
thank you guys for your answers.. i will try and see.. even though weather underground is not very good in looking up small to medium greek cities..
Yes, there is something wrong transfering the greek characters to WU.. i try the same search in WU web site and it finds the city OK.. But via RR No..
changing the CURRENTCITY and CURRENTSTATE to English, works OK also.
I have CURRENTSTATE=CURRENTCOUNTRY. Here is my zips.dat

EDIT: It would be nice if we could choose how the weather plugin searches..(choose between, city, state, country)
1st question, did u test GPS2City?
"currentcity"
"currentstate"
and so fourth?
