Andy,

Yes, this is a known limitation. Because of the way Yahoo!'s weather service works I can only retrieve weather data for US zip codes and Yahoo! location IDs. Implementing zip code lookup was easy. I will investigate weather look up by Yahoo! location ID in future releases.

I'd like to see it work globally, too.

Thanks for your feedback.

Evan

Give a look at http://www.windguru.cz/ - they do provide worldwide sailing weather data - not only wind speed but also wind direction, clouds cover, etc...


Not only for current conditions but also several days forecast.

It doesn't use ZIP codes actually but latitude/longitude location - GPS kind - and has been proven quite acurate for my local waters here in Europe . . .

HTH

Best regards

Hi Evan,

unfortunately it does not work with any of my favorite sailing locations.
(Well... they're all outside USA, if that matters)
