Weather Reporting Suite (WRS) config for Vancouver, BC area

[whisperer]

Just finished configuring the Weather Reporting Suite (a fantastic piece of work by salsbst) for the greater vancouver area. I configured it to grab weather and satellite maps from the Canadian Weather Network. Feel free try out my config file. I am using the WRS included with nielm's custom STV version 1.8.

Good luck.

thanks man, I was waiting for someone to tackle the Canadian stuff. I Spent 20minutes tweaking it for the Central Canada and she was good to go.
Things are working so well I hate to update to 2.1.

How did you figure out what images to tell it to download? I'm in Nova Scotia, I'd like to get this working also.

I can't recall my exact thought process to figure it out, if i recall i browsed around the www.theweatherchannel.ca site and pulled up the properties of some of the maps to get the jpg titles and substituted where necessary.

here are some hints for Nova Scotia

I haven't reinstalled the weathersute since upgading to version Sage 2.2x so I can't view what i have untill i reinstall.
