Success loading local weather channel website under services? How?

[amber.barker]

Has anyone had any success loading their local weather channel website in the services? If so, how? I've followed all the directions and it doesn't bring anything up.... Thanks!!

I am using Berbee xml page for local weather service. you have to enter your zip code. this is the page:

http://phone-xml.berbee.com/cgi-bin/weather.pl

Also, if you are using a proxy or ISA server you have to enter the address in the global settings page, or for each partition whichever you prefer:

192.168.1.1:80

You then need to subscribe each phone to the service.

Hope this helps!

If you would like to build your own, NOAA has current conditions and forecasts on the web in plain text format. The plain text is much easier to parse and display on the phone. Herses some examples. Just explore a little and find the ones for your area- These are all for BWI in baltimore.
