Ya I wish I had it the last 2 days. lost power for 5 hours the other day. thought for sure they were going to open the EOC last night but it ended up being minor. stay safe to the south and as long as Delcarmen stays off the mound I think we'll be ok brother

Lol, another New Englander.... nasty stuff running through here the past weekend, glad you made it through safe bro! Here's a link to GPS weather radar http://www.gps-weather-radar.com/ And it's not Manny that scares me, it's Dice K tonight, but so far so good!

ok, tried this indoors with the use gps unchecked (so it has to use cell towers to find me). google maps finds me in about half a second using this method. I don't think it can find me. When I click update/ update location and radar/ it freezes up and I have to soft reset.
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.

I am a big fan of weatherpanel. Have been using it since my i760. First thing I did when I got my TP2 was find a way to continue using weatherpanel. Took some patience and I had to edit one of the skins to take advantage of the extra space on WVGA screen but it came out nicely. Here is a pic of weathepanel integrated into sense replacing the standard weather tab:



I will try and get a tutorial post up sometime soon.

Since I was no longer using the HTC weather I also found a way to remove it from the home page for a cleaner look:

mcop10 - please post some instructions for this. I used the same basic instructions as for WinMO 6.1 and it had some VERY unstable results in WinMo 6.5 . thanks

I am an old fan of this program and think I have all the old installs. This was developed by a guy named Martian who suddenly went AWOL a few years ago, right? I always invert Pocket Weather and Weather Panel (PW) vs (WP)... Have used them both a lot, as a pilot. Your screen looks great.

Do you have two home pages that you switch? The person above here was using that approach for WP, will try to follow instructions, which appear to be outdated.... Looks complex. If I have the time today will mess with it and put up some clear instructions.

You wouldn't have a setup file or cab for this look?
