    Default WeatherBug doesn't use GPS?


    Maybe i missed it somewhere but i installed WeatherBug to try it out and for the first 2 mins it just searched for my location. I tried to Add a new Location and it just kept searching. But i noticed while it was searching the GPS icon did not pop up. So i went into my settings and turned on "Use Wireless Networks" in Security & Location and it instantly found my location. Once it was added i unchecked the setting to conserve battery.

    Other then that i think i like WeatherBug better then all of the other weather apps! I do think they should of added GPS to the app, but i guess it doesn't really need it!

    BTW: GPS was enabled and i was outside having a smoke in the same spot that i get my GPS location all the time.

    I didnt notice this...hrmm

    I've never had an issue getting my location though, so maybe thats why -- I'll try it again later and double check.

    As far as I am aware you have to have at least one of the two choices (wireless networks or GPS) enabled for any app to find your location. Having them both off basically disables location aware apps.
