I tried this weather station tonight and was able to see the map image. Are you still experiencing this issue?
If so, click “SETTINGS” at the bottom, right corner of the main Weather Watcher Live window and make sure the “Map Image Link” box either contains a valid link or is completely empty (included blank spaces).
Yes, I have experienced this since I have used WWL even prior to when I purchased it. And the trial version I installed on a second computer with a diferent weather station does the same thing (on XP). My computer runs Vista.
I clicked settings and the Map Image Link box is blank.
I updated and went to the same weather station. It was now a blank (no red x). I changed the station from Exeter, PA (I am searching with 19607 zip) to Cumru and the Governor Mifflin stations and I get the map to show. I randomly picked a station in GA and that was fine. Every time I go back to the Exeter station, the map is blank. Also, it takes 3 times as long to load. I am fine with one of the other local stations, but figured you would want to know what I was seeing.
Try deleting the skins cache folder. You’ll find the “Cache” folder inside of the Splendid2 folder that you zipped above. After deleting the cache folder, start up Weather Watcher Live and retrieve your weather. Does the Exeter station map load properly at that point?
The only thing it doesn’t seem to be finding is the map, so perhaps it’s waiting for that to download. I deleted my cache and the map came back okay, so it seems to be available.
Please email me a new zip of your Splendid2 folder. I’d like to check out your skin files again to see if the changes I made to the new build fixed the issue I found.
The fix corrected the issue I saw. I’m not sure why the map isn’t downloading though. Does the map load if you try another nearby Weather Underground weather station?
I do not know what an underground station is or how I tell. I tried a bunch of the stations that came up when I searched the area code and they all worked.
When the weather station search results are displayed, you can see the source of the weather information in the “Data Source” column. “WUnderground” is Weather Underground.
Just wanted to let you know that today the map for Reading, PA (Exeter Township, PA) loaded fine. So I am not sure what is going on, but looks like it might have been with the download.
