Any ideas?
also, when I went into settings, it kept pulling up memphis, tn when I tried to input my location manually.

edit: went outside with the phone and it did find me using gps (still couldn't get it to work just using towers). Having animated weather radar is nice, but it's pretty slow loading. Guess I'll stick with weatherbug for now. the hourly forecasts are pretty nice to have and allow me to plan my day.
You can load your location using city/town and state and it will find it, then I just update radar only, not location. When I'm camping and outside it will detect me with gps. And I only use it for radar, that's it, not hourly forecasting, etc, but to see when a line of storms is running through my area. As far as weather and hourly updates, GPS weather radar isn't good for that at all, just radar.
