[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 954300, member: 27204"] I agree with using the same location (i.e. World Weather subfolder) I have to apologize though, because I thought WWL installed some new provider images. I completely forgot I had updated World Weather and it had added them. DUH! So I didn't realize my 'request' was actually bigger than I thought - thanks for considering it anyways. :D (y) I'll be sure to copy those 'best practices' to wiki when we do the docs ;), but how do you enter longitude/latitude values in WWL? Maybe it is also important to note that you can get different results when using the 'Detect' button depending what you enter in the City/City Code/Country fields. (at least I can ;)) I use the comparison sheet a lot - I find it really helpful. Probably most people just select one location and one provider, and they are good to go. However I like to add the locations of my family and friends around the world, and quite often it is difficult to get accurate weather for all locations from a single provider. So I end up switching providers quite a lot and then forget that provider doesn't work, or does not provide good info, for that location :rolleyes: Ofc India is a good test case because very few APIs work well for locations here other than the major cities. Often even the websites provide only 'observations' from 500-1000 km away even if there is a weather station down the road ;) It's even more annoying when their 'free' API provides quite different data than that provided on the website. But ofc, users like me should 'upgrade' to World Weather ;) because many of the additional providers provide better data for locations outside America/Europe. [/QUOTE]
