Where does WP store the radar URL's?????

[jmorton10]

I always assumed that WP stored the URL's you add for radar/traffic images in the RADAR.TXT file but it doesn't.

I have two XV6800's & the first one has eight camera URL's in it that took me FOREVER to find. I just activated a 2nd XV6800 & I want the same URL's in that one also. I would copy & paste the URL's into an email to me, but it doesn't have a data connection anymore so that's not an option.

I have a full BU of that system from SPB Backup, but I cannot find those URL's stored in it ANYWHERE......

When I opened the RADAR.TXT, it listed a bunch of nationwide weather URL's that are there the first time you open WP, but none of the URL's I added manually inside the program when you edit the city under "weather images"

That's right....unless you added them to the radars.txt document then they are not going to be listed anywhere for easy export.

However, if you select your city and hit edit. Then select Weather Images. That will bring up a list of your image URL's. Then select one image name and that will open up an options window that will display the URL. You'll have to do that for each image.

I realize that, that is where I manually added them in the first place (but I copied & pasted them in at that time).

The problem is, the URL's are about sx inches long & to copy & type them all in manually will be a royal PITA..........

I just made a radar.txt file with my image urls and overwrite the original. I keep a backup of it on my storage card.

Yeah, but John didn't update his radar.txt file...so now he's looking at a lot of typing invovled.

Or, you might be able to copy (via ActiveSync) or beam the WP dll's (and any other important files) from one phone to the other.

The radar images that you can select, in the settings for the city you are editing, are located in the radar.txt file. If the radar image you want to add is not in the radar.txt file you can enter it manually, which you already know because that is what you did. When you save the image or click ok the image url, name, order, purge minutes, and update minutes are stored in the registry.

HKCU/Software/Marsware/WeatherPanel/Cities/<name of your city>/Radar/<name of your radar map>

One of the values is called URL.

I would recommend exporting the HKCU/Software/Marsware/WeatherPanel/ key to a file then copying that from one phone to the other and import.
