Wireless Weather Forecaster
The display unit is vibrant, it looks nice and feels pretty solid. Over
all it's a decent unit it does what it says. But I have 2 big grievances
with it.
1) The USB transmitter REQUIRES AA batteries in order to work. This makes absolutely no sense, it should get power from the USB but it does not.
2) The software you are required to install is mediocre and it does not let you enter your location by zip code. Instead you have to choose from a drop down list and my city isn't even an option (watsonville, CA). Come on a city with a population of 50,000 should be available.
If you just want to compare feature to feature any other unit is probably better if they can get their weather feed from any syndicating .com. The color screen gives the edge on this unit, combined with the price I paid. If it wasn't for the color screen I would have returned this for a different product.
