Well looking in the Forum, I learned that I have to enter the Lat/Long for my home city. How do I get the Lat/Long for my city?  :(

Well, I went on Google and found my home Lat/Long (Long value is negative -117.50). Should I enter the - sign as well? What is the correct format? Thanks!

This is discussed in detail here (http://www.dark-mojo.com/todayplus/viewtopic.php?t=1010).
Title: Latitude/Longitude lookup by ZipCode
Post by: BrightLight on January 02, 2004, 03:43:21 PM
The following site offers free ZIP code lookup:
http://www.zipinfo.com/search/zipcode.htm

For any valid ZIP code, find the city and state, plus:
county name and FIPS code  
area code
time zone  
latitude and longitude
MSA/PMSA

Example:

Search Results for ZIP code 14592

Data source: ZIPList5 Max (January 2004)  

York NY 14592 Livingston 36051 585 EST Yes 42.8713 77.8856 6840

Programs such as Microsoft Streets and Trips also provide this functionality.

Note:
1) From srs:
north latitudes are positive, south, negative. west longitudes are negative, and east, positive.

2) For 0.11.0, it appears that decimal digits cannot be specified (Edit: in the config.exe GUI) so in the above example, you would enter the following for 42.8713 (Latitude North) 77.8856 (Longitude W):

Lat: 42
Long: -77

I do not believe this statement is true, because I have three digits in my settings.  Now this may be because I entered the settings directly into the registry using PHM Registry Editor.

It is a bug in the Today Plus 0.11.0 'config.exe' GUI.

For instance, simply try entering the following in the edit box:
42.871 vs. 42

I still have the same problem with any number that contains a decimal point.  

1) I did a complete clean install of 0.11.0 (removing 0.10.2 first)
2) Only used 'config.exe' (i.e. never directly edited the registry)
3) HP H2210 (Pocket PC 2003)

I mite have edited the registry for the original entry, but I now can enter more than two digits and a decimal point.
