Good program but a couple of tweeks...

Suggestion for Here and now

11-06-2009 21:39

Program works perfectly in my E63

But 2 suggestions:

1) change the display from C to F and Mph to Kph (or vice versa) (there are some weird people who like metric rather than imperial...lol ) ^_^

2) Change the search radius of the Events page. In my area nothing ever happens (even during summer the place is dead!!) I'd like to be able to change the search radius to 5, 10 ,15, 20 miles of your current location. (I'm not sure how it currently does the search so this might not make any difference to the results)

Later

Very good suggestions. We are kind of trying to address both of those things automatically, but maybe we do need settings. The idea so far has been zero configuration, but a little personalization never hurt anyone;-)

On the weather it'd be great when clicking on the weather for the current day that the website would load more detail, i.e. hours weather similar to weather.com or maybe break the weather down to every 2 o 3 hours.

One other thought, to make it the sleep screen with ability to switch to event without unlocking the screen.

Hi Pekka,

One thing that I assume would be very easy to do, and which would greatly improve the user experience, is to add next and previous links to the weather web pages for each day, so that for example, if you look at Thursday's weather page, you can easy navigate to Wednesday's or Friday's, without having to go via the intermediary summary page as you do at the moment.

Also, to follow on from solitaire's suggestion, it would be good to have links to weather pages for the whole region in which you are located (i.e. for a bigger area). This could also provide some of what Solitaire suggests for events pages, but without needing any personalisation.

Thanks,

Geoff
P.S. I like the inegration of this product with Ovi Maps for Mobile.
