NAM|US|CA|MYTOWN

NAM is north america.. US is well USA.... (I am assuming) CA would be whatever 2 letter abbreviation chosen state and town is the actual spelling of city name.. include spaces where applicable.
Be sure you use the straight up and down line not a dash/slash..

Step by Step, open the database editor.. use drop down to find US
then click Edit at the bottom right.. Add City.. fill in the blanks State should be uppercase 2 letter city cap the first letter and code is as stated above.

the straight up and down line is in the regular onscreen keyboard. hit the shift and it's just left of the spacebar

XDA is down. Do I just need the weather editor app? If so, would someone mind providing a linky?

FYI - In my experience (or at least with my hometown), if your city has a space in the name, you should include the space in the location code... like:

NAM|US|CA|MY TOWN

Not sure if that's true universally or not...

Not quite universally true. St. Paul, MN is NAM|US|MN|SAINT-PAUL

Another good tip is that any city you add won't be in the alphabetical listing under United States - it will be at the very bottom, at least on mine it is.

that's true in the weather database, however it will be in order in TF3D

Thats been the correct way for the various 2 word cities I have added... thus, use spaces as applicable. The instructions actually say to use underscore but it breaks if you do.
