You can select one of four available modes to represent weather information in Spb Weather.
These modes are:
7 days view
5 days view
4 days view
Multiline view
These modes are quite self-explanatory. When you select, let's say, a 4 days mode, then you can
see four weather information entries for a selected city in a row.
The multiline mode allows you to view five day forecasts for several cities simultaneously.
City entries are represented with lines in this mode, rather than with tabs as in all other modes.
7 days view. On this screenshot you can see a seven day weather forecast for one city
(New York). Another city can be selected by tapping on its name in the header.
Multiline view. In this mode all your active cities are put on the screen at once,
represented with horizontal lines. Tap on any day of any city and you will see the detailed
information for that day.
Detailed forecast for one day.
One day weather forecast can contain information on temperature, humidity, pressure and winds
allocated by four periods of the day.
Options: Cities.
You can select several cities to monitor. Weather forecasts will be downloaded for only checked
cities in this list. You can also highlight a city in this list and tap on Edit... to customize
city options, such as a name to display and a weather source. Use the Move Up and
Move Down buttons to set the city order in the list.
Adding cities.
When adding a city you can first select a country and then a city (for the US you can also select
a state, or specify a city by ots ZIP code). Moreover you can provide a different city name to display
(some people prefer to say 'Frisco' rather than San Francisco, or 'Peter' rather than St. Petersburg.
You are also prompted to select a weather source for the city.
Adding custom cities.
If you cannot find a desired city in a database you can add it manually. For such a custom
city you should know a weather source that provides forecasts for that city and a special
code used by that weather source for handling that city.
Options: View.
In this view you can configure Spb Weather Today plug-in interface in detail. Select between
different views, skins, and headers and see the sample result at the bottom of the screen.
Options: Units.
These options allow you to select your habitual measurement unit set. Specify such parameters as
temperature, wind speed and atmospheric pressure units.
Options: Synchronization.
Here you can customize the weather update rules. Select if you want Spb Weather to update
every time your device is docked. Select if you want Spb Weather to update every time you
add a new city. Finally, select an update behavior: this can be either a manual update
(weather data will be downloaded only upon request) or automatic update (in this case data
will be downloaded after every specified time interval)
Options. Statistics.
In this dialog you can see how much data has been transferred for every weather source for a
selected period of time.

«Overall Spb Weather is an excellent application and well worth the small purchase price of $14.95 (US). Like all of the other Spb Software House applications, Spb Weather is backed by outstanding customer support that is both timely and courteous.
There are other weather related applications that do have a deeper included city database but none that we have used here at Clinton Fitch (Dot) Com! are as fast nor provide as accurate weather information. If you are a Windows Mobile user who needs weather information at a glance, Spb Weather should be on your short list of applications to purchase.»
