adding home town to weather

[RitchTouchPro2]

I've posted once today about this topic. Just went through the threads and could not find mine. I read on here the past few days, on how to add my town to the weather application on my Touch Pro. Can someone point me to that thread? I've had no luck in finding it.

Here you go. Its in the touch pro essentials thread.

it's in the Essentials thread, I'll see if I can find the links to the cabs you need, it's pretty easy after that

Edit: follow the link above, you need the Modified 1.1 cab and the .net cab

I don't understand why there's a crazy thread about hacking and installing stuff to add a city. Just go to the Weather tab and click the menu button at the bottom. It's not complicated at all.

Not everyone's city is on the list, and you can't normally get the weather for it if your city isn't on there.

Very true, closest city to me was 130 miles away. Had to to use the Weather Database Editor.

Uh.......because it doesnt contain EVERY city. Thats why. My city of Morris,IL wasnt in there and couldnt just be added. I had to hack and install stuff to get mine. >

Format would look like this...
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.
