What is the Live Weather service supposed to do?

[Salcero]

I bought a Tomtom Go Live 2535M and I'm wondering what exactly the Live Weather service is supposed to do. It does not give me current weather conditions, only a 5 day forecast. And to make it worse, the 5 day forecast is from 5 days ago. It is currently 8:00 pm on Tuesday and I see the the weather forecast for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. This is something they charge money for when the 1 free year is up?

No, there is a flaw in the system. Call CS at 866-486-6866 and report it.

Well spotted!
I'm seeing the same in the UK.
The voice says "Weather report for today" but then reads out what is on-screen for the first day shown, which was last Saturday
The screen is showing Saturday to Wednesday

Seems to be stuck on a Friday through Tuesday schedule in N.A. at the moment. It's a whole day since the OP posted, and we're still looking at the same days.

@Andy & dhn: applies to both production Nav2 and Nav3 devices and to the other server as well. Guess you'd call it pandemic?

Latest glitch just started the last 24 hours or so??

 

[canderson]

Must have. Both of my Live units were behaving well enough day before yesterday re: weather. My only gripe then was (and is) that they always show a 1mph difference in the projected wind speed <g>.

You're starting to sound like who-know-who now!

 

[canderson]

Don't round my speeds, man!

Weather server seems to be back on a non-time-warped Gregorian calendar with the rest of us now. Shows Thursday as today.

However, the forecast that I'm seeing doesn't look very realistic on a couple of the days. Probably picking up NWS weather which never seems to match local conditions.

TomTom:

FRI 20/50F
SAT 22/57
SUN 25/39
MON 18/42

2 Local Stations:

FRI 16/40 16/40
SAT 21/51 19/48
SUN 23/52 23/52
MON 15/38 22/39

What about in a different location? That bug still there?

 

[canderson]

@dhn! Don't lose track of which forum we're in!

As for location issues ... My 740 Live wouldn't have that bug (Navcore 9). As for Nav3 units like the OP's 2535, yes, I believe that bug still exists across all builds. The problem was found, but no idea exactly when they'll release a version with that specific fix. I doubt it will bother most users.
