The detail view shows information about the current weather of a location. This view
contains the current temperature and weather condition, the wind direction and speed and the
time and date of the last update. The XML API used for Mobile Weather provides a forecast
for today and tomorrow only. Maybe this will be extended in one of the next versions to a five
day forecast.

With Mobile Weather you can create a list of locations you like to know the current
weather for. All locations in the list can be updated together. The overview list shows
the current weather of all locations in the list.

Mobile Weather comes with a huge database containing a long list of cities in many countries
all around the world, thus no network traffic is necessary to find a location. Just select an
area (like continent or part of continent), the country and the city within the country. The
Mobile Weather installation packages contain most countries all over the world. This requires
about 750KB of space in phone memory or on a memory card. Actual memory cards have more than
256MB of memory so this shouldn't be a problem hopefully. If necessary I can provide installation
packages with only a subset of countries e. g. of Europe, Asia or USA. Please send an email to
info (at) ubahnstation (dot) net.

Location lists of some countries can be quite long thus scrolling through a list of hundreds
of entries would be frustrating. But lists can be filtered. Just type some characters of
the city you would like to add until have found it or until the list is short enougth for
scrolling.

 |
Some parameters of Mobile Weather can be configured. The unit for degrees used for
weather information requests (note: changing the unit will only have an effect when updating
the loction list), the Internet Access Point to be used (GPRS/UMTS and WLAN Access Points
are supported), close the connection after update or keep it open (select the option that best fits
your data plan) and the update interval.
|
 |
Weather information of the locations in your list can be updated manually or automatically
every 15 or 30 minutes or every 1 or 2 hours. When starting Mobile Weather in manual
mode it will ask if the location list has to be updated.
