Beautiful Widgets Question ::lost::

[HULKchampion]

Hi all! I have a question (or a few). Currently I'm using Beautiful Widgets for my weather/clock application. I'm coming from HTC world, so I'm used to the weather application updating itself automatically. How do I do that with "BW"? My previous settings were
Refresh Interval - 1hour, Refresh on Wake - Off and Geolocation Force GPS - Off. My new setting is Refresh Interval - Manual, Refresh on Wake - On and Geolocation Force GPS - Off. I found using that Refresh on Wake will kill my battery, so now I'm trying to see what this Geolocation Force GPS is? Will that automatically make the weather widget update itself without screen wake up? I have everything off other than Geolocation Force GPS - ON currently to try it. Am I doing it right? Thanks!

That just forces it to use your GPS (as opposed to using your network to determine where you are) to find out where you are. Just set the refresh interval every hour and a half. Weather doesn't really change that drastically over an hour and a half period anyway!

If you live anywhere other than Kansas, this may be true

Awww poop. Guess there isn't a way for the location to be automatically updated whenever I travel to different people cities.

It will automatically update to wherever you are and show the local weather for that area. If it doesn't show the local weather, then just manually update, and there it is.

I actually switched to HD widgets and it's doing everything I asked earlier. Thank you all for your inputs. Greatly appreciated.
