Never thought of that...thanks for the tip!

Hey, Coz, can you direct me to where I can get instruction on how to edit the URL's via ActiveSync? I tried to do the editing from notepad like it was explained somewhere, and I failed. I would LOVE to add the radar and traffic cams to my WP.

Thanks!!

Once you're hooked up via ActiveSync, your WP file structure will most likely looks like this:

\Program Files\MarsWare\WeatherPanel

Look for something called radars.txt. Copy that to your desktop. From there you can add url's in the same format as the default radar url's. Then simply save it and copy it back to your ppc.

Let me know if you run into any problems.

The above method is a lot easier than doing it via WP on your ppc.

Anything for a fellow Washingtonian!

And remember, you can put any .jpg or .gif url in the radar.txt file. It doesn't have to be a "radar image". I've put surf cams, beach cams, traffic cams, zoo cams, etc. in there.
