Dashboard - location setting and other things

[craigyknows]

I'm in Glasgow, in bonnie Scotland but Dashboard gives me the weather in Cardiff, Wales 😕 Nothing against Wales but how do I change it to Glasgow. I would also like to change the weather from farenhiet (SP!) to good old Celsius.

Click on the little i in the bottom right corner. Type Glasgow in the text field and press RETURN. Select your city. Then select Celsius from the drop down list before clicking Done. 🙂

Mad jew,

Why don't we cut out the middle man and you come over to Scotland for a holiday and walk me through the mac-ifcation process 😀

Cheers again.

No worries mate! 😀

Almost all widgets have little preferences you can customise using the i button. You've just gotta find it on the widget and you're set. 🙂

only problem with that is that it automatically assumes you're in the US.

anyone know of a way of setting to UK?

i live in reading, uk but if i put that in i get reading, somewhereintheus...i know this as it certainly aint 32 deg C here!

If you hit RETURN after typing Reading, it should give you a list of choices. Hopefully the UK Reading will be in that list.

Here's proof of european local weather via the std weather widget from apple .. Add the country to the city locale .. If its just city name then it thinks a US based city .. 😱

Press RETURN to get that list of options. 🙂
