Hi all,

I just installed OMWeather from maemo, or more exactly tried to install from there.
For the N810/OS2008 version, you actually have to go to the OMWeather home page, and fetch the deb from there...

Looks nice, but how to set locations outside of North America?

The documentation on this topic seems to be nonexistent, and the location input dialog is not very helpful,
so I searched the related discussion forum, and found the following thread:

https://garage.maemo.org/forum/forum...0&forum_id=333

which describes how to get the appriorate location code.

Not the most user friendly approach, but works...

This is something I'd liked to have somewhat more user friendly, and within the dialog directly.

HTH

thanks; see also:

Thanks for the link:-)
THAT'S something I had expected to be linked to either on the maemo download page
http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/omweather/
or on the project home page...

But I still can't find an explanation why OMWeather doesn't show the correct date.

For my city (Hannover, Germany), it currently shows 'Montag 00 Januar' :-/
And yes, I have set the system date correctly;-)

Open up the clock application, and set the home location correctly also.
If you happen to be in one time zone and have the home location as another timezone, then OmWeather does not show the corrct location weather info.

As I just wrote, I have set the date and time correctly (18.02.2008),
only my 'home' location was set to 'Berlin', since I didn't find a way to choose 'Hannover' from the list.

And even if I set my 'home' to 'Berlin' and also set the OMWeather 'home' to 'Berlin' (GMXX0007),
the program displays 'Montag 00 Januar', so this shouldn't be the problem.

Hannover and Berlin are in the same time zone, btw;-)

Hmm, setting the date format to US temporarily and then back to the German date format seems to solve the problem.
Is there a chance that OMWeather reads the date from the wrong memory location initially?
