Re: New update for WeatherSix

The first thing that I could suggest is to reboot your HD1000 to see if that
corrects the problem.   I'm not sure what you mean by "My list of locations
doesn't give the city name for the first city, though the zip is still
there."

When you mentioned that there were a lot of tmp files, what were their
names?  The WeatherSix application will create a temporary file, beginning
with the name 'WeatherSixRadar', in the /tmp directory when you view radar
images but will/should delete this single file when the application is
shutdown.
