Spb Weather 1.1 Released
In the light of the recent Spb Diary 1.5 release, Spb Weather has been updated to v1.1, which primarily offers integration support with the new version of Spb Diary, but also offers an improved custom weather sources template language, a new hardware button navigation feature with the detailed pop-up window, and other minor optimisations and fixes. Spb Weather 1.1 is a free update for existing v1.0.x users. For all new users, a free trial can be downloaded from Handango, who are also selling the full version for $14.95. [Affiliate]

I used SPB Weather for a little while. It seemed like a quality application but it just didn't give enough information like chance or rain etc.
So I switched to WeatherPanel.

I did the same, but I found that the release version of WeatherPanel just didn't do it for me and the v2.4.something would continuously muck with my connection icon (ie, I drop it in the cradle to aync, it syncs, a short while later, I look at the iPaq and it has the disconnected icon in the start bar even though it's currently connected via ActiveSync and the CardExport icon says as much). So I uninstalled that and went back to Spb Weather and I no longer have that issue.

Anyone know where I can find templates.
The basic install doesn include anything except this GisMateo.
I need to add WeatherChannel or Accuweather.
Or some way to add US cities.
thanks

An extensive list can be found at SpbDN.com and PDAgold.com.
By the way, the default install should include Intellicast and Weather.com as well.

I downloaded the latest version on Friday and just installed it, and it does indeed only include the GisMeteo.ru source.

Thanks for the links Darius. The PDAgold link in particular was useful to me.

And might I just say that I don't know how anyone exists without a PPC?
How cool is it to be able to get the weather forecast for your specific suburb automatically whenever you sync your PPC. Unbelievable.
And to think when my brother first offered me his old PDA (a palm) a few years ago I said "but what would I use it for?".
I love tech.
I love my pocket PC.

2 Things about the sources:
1. I had the same problem with finding sources and went to the Spb support section. Turns out that is the only source included in this version, they say they are working on another version that will support extended databases.
2. Spb actually has a link for the custom templates for PDAGold, but when I went there I found that I couldn't download anything at all. I'll try the other site, but I don't know what's up with that other site.

I forget which source I was using before, but the last time I hard-reset, the source was no longer included in the download. I now use weathernetwork.ca as my source, but it only has seven days of future weather with a 69.5KB download for each city each time, and the previous source downloaded 14 days at a time with a much smaller download.
