GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 583644
Germany, Bayern, Memmingen - Aviation

Many people have a airport within 100 km in range. Could this be used to reduce filesize of libgweather (Only ICAO Code is saved and Name, Location is queried over any internet database) Would also be nice to have a configure option in "Wetterbericht 2.24.3.1" bzw. "Uhr 2.24.3" to add city (also smaller than 100T habitant) with airport by ICAO code. METAR Data Access could be made by http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml Personally I added <city><name xml:lang="de">Memmingen</name><coordinates>47.986328 10.180936</coordinates><location><name>Memmingerberg</name><code>EDJA</code><coordinates>47.98451 10.236812</coordinates></location></city> to /usr/share/libgweather and it works fine. With your criteria on wiki-site, this airport never could make it into libgweather, so I did it my way ... Best Regards Martin
We can add airports attached to (very) small cities, if they have a weather station that's currently in function and exporting data, and there's no bigger city to attach it to. For example, when the airport is in the suburbs of a European capital city, we're not going to add the city that this airport is actually in, but the bigger city and attach the airport to it. If the airport is far away from a lot of bigger cities (this happens with low-cost airline's preferred airports, or in large country in South America), we can add those cities and airports.
