Great glad to hear its working!
The problem here is that Met Office has multiple locations for multiple things. For example, there is currently a Forecast location and an Observation location. Eventually there will also be Regional, National Park, and Mountain locations. Maybe others as Datapoint gets expanded. These are all different things, independent of each other.
So do I give the user three (or more) of each of these? If I do that then it ties "Forecast Location 1" to "Observation Location 1" to "Region 1". This may be what the user wants, but also maybe not. Its foreseeable that a user might want to keep the observation setting the same, but change the forecast location to somewhere else, a holiday destination perhaps.
Or maybe I just allow one of the settings to have multiple locations. For example "Forecasts". This seems a bit lopsided though.
The short answer is no.
Eventually I'll add weather maps, and hopefully that will make the need for multiple locations moot.
NB Met Office doesn't offer a weekend forecast.
