    I saw in the FAQ that you should be able to set preferences like Weather Station and km/mi. Where are these setting in the interface?

    Also, what weather station formats are accepted? For example I would love to use KKYNEWPO2 but would settle for KLUK or KCVG as that I am between them.

    It's not super obvious, you are right. You need to click on this tiny little icon under your avatar. It looks like a guy holding a big fat pencil.

    Will KKYNEWPO2 work or our should I use those airport locations? Also, should I enter the elevation where I run or the elevation of the weather station? There is only about 300' difference but I guess I am a stickler for accuracy. Also, does this go back and correct the data on previous runs or just apply to new runs?

    Sorry about all the ?'s. Great site btw. I like that your graphs are more indicative of the actual runs and the weather integration is great!

    Is there a way to change the station per run? I travel lots for work (see username ) and often run in different locales. I know I can log something as an indoor run, but can I log it from a different city?

    That is currently at the top of my todo. I travel a lot as well. I want to integrate support for the location detection in Firefox 3.5 and also Fire Eagle so it will know automatically where you are. Of course, it should also let you override it. Often on some of my trips I am already onto the next city by the time I upload a previous run.

    I have reset your previous runs to use KKYNEWPO2 for their weather data. The thing about these smaller personal weather stations is that they don't collect conditions info. So, while you may get more accurate temperatures since they are taken closer to you, I have no way to determine whether it is raining, snowing, sunny, etc. which means you don't get the nice little conditions graphic on your runs. Let me know if you want to stick with KKYNEWPO2 given that.
