IOW - You'd both pay for something that would be free? I don't think so. I learned a long time ago - If you don't ask the answer is always no.

BTW - I got my free upgrade. Thanks SBSH. :approve:

For me, it was the features - the $4.95 wasn't a consideration at that point, except that it was (really) cheap for an upgrade, especially with this many changes for the better.

Heck, SKTools costs $7.99 to upgrade, and they didn't put in as many (at least for me) improvements compared to what PW2 did.

PocketWeather 2.0.1-update to the previously released PocketWeather V2.0 to fix a couple of issues people have reported.

PocketWeather 2.0.1 "New Year" - SBSH Mobile Software Forums

Quote:

Changes to PocketWeather V2.0.1: * Fixed badly configured "Home" location. This was responsible for most of the today screen lockups and for no weather icons appearing in PocketBreeze * Fixed lockup issue caused by having only one location configured, and selecting one of the multi-location today screen layouts. * Added support for "#METAR#" and "#TAF#" text commands in the layout scripts - this causes the raw METAR/TAF string to be displayed * Reduced default today screen startup delay to 15 seconds. This was previously 30 seconds. Note that if you have already installed PocketWeather V2.0, this change will not be set in your installation - you will need to manually change this by going into PocketWeather Config, go into Today, and set the startup delay.

I have a couple of bugs with PW 2.0.1.

I don't use the Today Screen plug in because it takes up too much room, so I have it set as a Tab in PocketBreeze. If I try to open the WeatherConsole from this I get a "PW Component missing....re-install" error message. And if I click on a Hi/Lo Icon in PocketBreeze 5.4 I get a "WeatherConsole is not a valid Pocket PC application" error message.

These are described more fully in www.sbsh.net/Forums under PocketWeather/PW Component Missing".

A third minor bug is that I can no longer zoom in and out on Images. The zoom buttons no longer appear.

When these bugs have been sorted out PW 2 will be superb. I love the Hourly Forecasts and the Sun and Moon graphics are glorious.

Is anyone else having trouble getting updates when downloading via ActiveSync?
If I check for version updates it connects but no matter how I configure my proxy I can't seem to get weather updates.
i have contacted SBSH and we are trying to get a resolution but I figured I would ask here as well.

I didn't use that method to get my update. I downloaded the new program and ran it from my PC. My only mistake was not uninstalling the old version. I assumed it would overwrite it. It didn't create a problem other than having the weather on the today screen twice.

I have found that when I go to get the first weather update of the day I have to first go to the weatherpanel, exit and then update the weather. After that though I have no problems.

You're right. Mine does the same thing. I checked all the setups to make sure something didn't get changed. I am wondering if it does sync after awhile because this is the first time I actually checked after my first sync of the day. It must eventually sync itself.
