Update Weather on Journal Bar?

How do I get the weather on Journal bar to update? I have it set w/ my zip and update 2 hrs. I loaded the new version of Battery Pack on Sat. so my weather is for Sat. thru Wed. Well, it's now Monday and I'd like a little more current info. I'm not even sure where this info came from!!

I feel like SUCH A NEWB!!!

If you have it set to update, then whenever you dock, or connect to the pc, it should go out and begin to update. You can also force an update by tapping on the icon (the house, or the plane, or whatever). When that icon is flashing, it is downloading new info.

I can't tell you *where* JB gets its data, but it only randomly manages to bring it to my axim... this week I didn't get updated weather from Thursday through Sunday. It usually gets the weather pretty well. If you tap on weather, there is a "now" tab, which gives you the last date/time it downloaded info.

I also frequently have to soft reset to force JB to scroll, or to update... I love the program when it works, but this is one of my major hiccups with these folks, and why I yanked Program Bar off my axim for the time being.

Hope this is what you were asking!
What if this weren't a rhetorical question?

That mostly answers my question, but how do I tap on "weather" to get the 'now' tab? The house is flashing like crazy, but I don't see any changes or updates. Of course, I don't know what I'm doing either!

Thanks for your help.
