I live in Nashville, TN and wanted to know how to get missing cities added to the Weather portion of HTC Touch Homepage. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
Extract HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml from this zip file and overwrite your current one in the /windows directory.

My place
I looked up the codes from the web site, they just dont work from the plugin :-(
Weather Codes
What web site did you find them on?
Rochester MN
Anyone have Rochester MN or Minneapolis MN?
Still no workie
Well i loaded it and it is still not working...
Do you thing I should try the regedit?
Much Thanks
I've found that there are a lot of cities that just don't exist in the format the plugin needs. I doubt there is any way to changes this, it's going to be either accuweather's or HTC's call as to whether the list will grow or not. I've even tried adding the zip code like another post said, i.e. NAM|US|PA|HOOTERVILLE|17069 but still no dice.

You are absolutely right. A couple small cities in my area won't work after I got the correct entries from accuweather and edited the XML file.
Weather - countries
I have a whole country that doesn't work ;-)
From the Accuweather web site I can get valid looking parameters (and a nice forecast of course) but they dont work from the plugin.
ppl please help a modified HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml

Sorry to say that I have the same problem. I think it is more down to the plugin and the access it has to Accuweather than the parameters themselves.

FYI, your download links give a 404 error.
I'm curious, would there be any way to make an XML file with, say, the 50 largest cities in the US (assuming that they are supported by the plugin) and then allow you to choose from a list which ones you want to use in the plugin? Or would that try to pull data from all of them and choke things up?
wow and I thought I was the only one in nashville who ppc junkie.
nice to see the guys in mn too. anyways have you guys disabled your plugin when overwriting you files. that's what's recommended for my weather plugin, once files have been overwritten you can reactivate the pluggin. hope that helps. oh and by the way could someone post a screenshot id like to see how it look likes thanks.

how can one store gps location of a perticular person?
if i am visiting a freind's place in neighbouring city and would like to store his gps co-ordinates in my contact list, how can i do that? this will help me if i am visiting same place next time. this would be helpful in many countries where location can not be found from zip / post code.
thanks
You could save the location in your favorites in google maps, but i don't know of a way to directly attach it to a contact.
gpstoday shows the actual street address for your location, and many among other options, allows you to attach the address to a contact or create a new contact with the current address.
"Single tap to create a new contact with your current location as the address, or save the current location as an existing contact's address. Imagine not having to type the full street address on the PPC keyboard!"

The only problem i see with that is this.....

I've never heard of a standard for it, but you could always simply store it as a note attached to the contact in the format of lat,lon
You can then just typically paste that into things, like Google Maps.
You can also record the spot and later put it into Google Earth or something, then save and load that KML file on the Tilt. If you 'launch' the KML file, all the points in it will show up in the Google Maps application.

Thanks for the replies...
currently i store lat/lon in "Office loc" field of address book of a contact and have to copy paste in google maps if i need to get location on maps.
i guess there is also not any easy way to get lat/lon in "google maps" of my current location / a point on the map. if i dont want to start any other app and need to get gps location from google maps then i need to follow steps below
1. on the map tap on desired location and select "Mark start point"
2. click on "Search" option and search for some poi
3. "Tap for options"
4. "Directions to here"
5. copy gps coords from the "Starting point" field.
is there any easier way than this?
thanks once again.

now with latest version of GoogleMaps for Mobile i cant get the gps cords at all. do let me know if its possible
thanks
have you considered using trackme (found on xda).
Its great as it logs you journey which can be uploaded to google maps, google earth etc, its useful as you can take a foto and upload it along with your track. You can also view map/track on the app itself.
Check it out.
Also consider noni-plot gps, although no where near as useful as the above.
Happy playing

lol, yh i did Nir, i didnt want to, but it paid for my blackstone but i do miss it...... i keep telling my wife im going to flash her polaris, but she wont let me near it haha......
As for the guide, yes ive started writing GPS settings guide, as so many peeps ask about it. I think i may have chosen one of the hardest bloody subjects though as it really does depend on so many variables and that there is no right or wrongs!!! So unfortunately that doesnt make a very usefull guide, but i was going to list freeware/useful apps to it, so i guess it might not be that useless after all
So am looking for a GPS navigation app for my HTC Desire, i know there is a few to choose from: NDrive, CoPilot, Sygic, Navigon, but not sure which to choose, any recommendations?
No Good All is working
This question don't have answer ! All is working ! The question is what map you want?
Mainly looking for maps of Norway and/or Scandinavia.
You forget IGO

Do u know any navi app for Japan?
I just use Google Navigation and it's worked perfectly every time I've used it so far. The only feature I'd like that it doesn't have is saving a list of favorite places and being able to manually name them.

You could star some locations. Star = favorite in all Google's services. But I don't see possibility to name them.
Or you could create contacts with addresses - then you will be able to name them. But yeah, this is quite ugly.
A UK Magazine did a review of Nav software recently and said Google Navigation was the best and got you there in the quickest amount of time. Downside was that it requires 3G to work (Not a big deal today really is it?)

I'm using Navigon with the Europe map, mainly for when I cross the borders and roaming is out of the question.
Otherwise, I like Google Navigation.
Google navigation isn't available for Norway yet, so can't use it. Gave Navigon a try, since they have a trial, seems to be rather nice, though only possible to get English voice it seems, would rather have it in Norwegian.

Yeah if you could name your starred locations it would be perfect. Now you just have a huge list of addresses and you don't remember what's what.
It does if you're travelling to overseas, the romaing data charges are still killing people...
Perhaps Mobile Atlas Creator + RMaps / BigPlanet Tracks would be a practical solution.
It allows you to produce an offline map database and load into the SD card.
I'm using navigon which works very well on my x10. The best one in my opinion, and I've tried a few. Sort of similar to igo in wm6.

is there and app that can use google maps to show my location and get my coordinates and still be able to insert coordinates ...and other options like record tracks ...it would be very helpfull when going fishing thanks
Look for one of any Geocaching applications, tracking programs, etc.. You clearly haven't even looked in the Market yet.
Be aware that actively tracking takes a lot of battery. If you're just looking for "where did I start" you could launch it before you hit the dock, drop a waypoint, then when you're coming back in navigate back to that point. Even a "where is my car" app would work for that.
i searched everywhere the best i could find is mymapseditor
Google My Tracks combined with Gmaps and Google Map Editor. Awesome.

Look again. Like I said in the first post, any geocaching program will do it. You said "place a point on a map" and I assume you also want to navigate back to it, but regardless, ANY geocaching program will do that. Among many others, including "where is my car" type apps. And NO they do not require creating GPX.
Good grief.

EDIT3: removed again
EDIT2: Check out "CoPilot GPS" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alk.copilot.mapviewer this is free, official, and the lebanon map can be downloaded in-app, more reliable, and better than navitel (no ads, i'm just admitting that my work here is done)
EDIT: The map is BACK! since google maps is good enough, i re-released the map for free
NOTICE: i am trying to make this guide require free apps and not paid apps... i have found a way to get GPSMapEdit for free (officially), but unregistered, now there is only the android app that needs to be free not paid... please help me out to find another app than Navitel, that is free and reads those maps. thank you
Indexing maps with the newest version of Navitel have some problems... i index my maps with the old version
I do NOT support converting licensed maps. If you do, i am not responsible for anything that will happen to you (getting arrested, war,getting killed...) DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK when converting licensed maps.
Garmin NT maps can't be converted.
This guide is for making any map work on any android device available (and has GPS)
It's about converting the maps into a format that is compatible with an app on Android.
I)What You Need:
► PC
► Android phone
► GPSMapEdit (for PC)
► Navitel (for Phone)
► a map with any format
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: GPSMapEdit and Navitel are paid and NOT FREE!!
II)What To Do:
1► open GPSMapEdit on PC
2► drag and drop a map to the blank GPSMapEdit screen
3► select ALL the maps from the container to open, if your PC is slow, you'll have to wait a bit
4► when opened, click file, export, Navitel 3.2.6 map (*.nm2)
5► it will prepare itself, and start converting...
6► i have a 2.33GHz quad core CPU and 4GB RAM, and it took about 30 Mins to convert and export... please BE PATIENT!!! if you want to know that the program is not in the "not responding" state, open task manager-performance, and see that the CPU graphs are getting a little above 50%.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
PLEASE READ!!!
the conversion process most likely WILL FAIL!! with an error.
the error i got was:
Code:
WARNING: There are two nodes at the same position
this error can be fixed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III)How To Fix The Overlaying Errors:
1► when you get the above error, close the message box
2► Open tools, verify map...
3► deselect everything and only keep "Check routable polylines for self-intersections in nodes" and hit start
4► you'll see a list of the same errors that you saw in the exporting process, don't panic! just double click on one of them and the screen will move to its position.
5► locate the overlaying nodes,
5a► select them, right click and press "connect to nearest nodes"
5b► or, split the overlaying nodes, and delete all of them, but keep one (this is usually harder)
6► when you're done, and the list of errors is gone, export and finish.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Phone:
1► Download and install Navitel
2► Run it, and finish the setup (language, others....)
3► When done, don't do anything related to maps, but just close Navitel.
4► open a file browser, you'll see a folder called "NavitelContent"
5► Open it and go to the maps folder.
6► in the maps folder, put the exported .nm2 map in it.
7► relaunch Navitel
7a► open menu, settings, map, user maps, press the add button (the middle one), and choose /mnt/sdcard/NavitelContent/Maps/
7b► Navitel will index the newly created map, and when finished, it will show it to you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There you go Fully working maps, on android... i followed those very steps, and now i'm selling my map for 10$.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TIPS:
1► On GPSMapEdit, it takes alot of time to repeat the connect to nearest nodes process for removing the errors.... one fast thing to do is first do it manually the first time, and then you can press F4 to repeat the process
2► usually, overlaying errors occure on roundabouts, and roundabouts have lots of nodes, the solution is in the list of errors. there's the coordinates for each overlay, you can follow these coordinates to specify the exact node.
3► if the "connect to nearest nodes" is grayed out, this means that there are two groups of nodes that are overlaying, split all the nodes and then reconnect them into one group, or do III) 5b
If you have an issue, please specify what map are you converting, and if it is free or paid/licensed

ONLY FOR LEBANESE PEOPLE Lebanon map v1.5 (v2 is coming in bug-free, when you guys test the v1.5 for me)
Or for the ones willing to go to lebanon...
I have officially converted a lebanon garmin map to android... Yes moderators and admins, this is not illegal as there is no map for lebanon, and i made it to garmin then converted it to android... It's all me...
The map is here: (as of v1.5b)
nm2 Format: REMOVED
nm3 Format: REMOVED
nm3 format is faster, it doesn't need indexing, so the app will launch faster, but if you still want to index the map yourself, i left the nm2 format for you, but i do not give support for it.
The map works on an app called Navitel (paid from market)... It has some bugs, but it'll have to do.
1► Download and install Navitel (remember, we are lebanese, we help each other)
2► Run it, and finish the setup (language, others....)
3► When done, don't do anything related to maps, but just close Navitel.
4► open a file browser, you'll see a folder called "NavitelContent"
5► Open it and go to the maps folder.
6► in the maps folder, put the .nm2 map file you just downloaded in it.
7► relaunch Navitel
7a► open menu, settings, map, user maps, press the add button (the middle one), and choose /mnt/sdcard/NavitelContent/Maps/
7b► Navitel will index the newly created map, and when finished, it will show it to you.

That's it! Now you have a fully working offline GPS map for lebanon
please lebanese dudes, help me fix the map bugs by testing it and reporting flaws (Like illogiacl routes, hangs/crashes on route calculations..) and if you can find the corrupted point, please tell me its coordinates so i can fix it in v2

there's an option n GPSMapEdit to split the map into several files... i don't know its exact location cuz i don't have the PC on right now...
basically it makes the map smaller by splitting the map into 2 or more files... the data will still be there... nothing will be gone
EDIT: tools -- split map to files...

i actually compared 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013, and i found that 2010 has the most POIs... you're right, 2011 has phone numbers, but i'm more interested in POIs... v1.5 coming soon
