Strange to me that when i use WorldMate to Update My weather info ... it does'nt work throw Dialup Internet .... Also WAP .. it just gives me a 0% prossesing and nothing moves on .... does it needs GPRS service to work ... please Reply to me with answers.
Second thing ... Thank God I did'nt Bought This Software ... Sence i knew that it's Based In Isreal ... And i am Over With it .. Now and Forever !

I've used it with both dialup and GPRS. It just uses my standard internet dialup account by default. Never had a problem. The only slight problem is that if you install it on the MSD instead of internal memory, the database update can be quite slow. This isn't much of a problem for GPRS but can be with dialup as you pay whilst you are connected.

I have tried the prvious version, It is nice, I like it and I was concidering to buy, but 24$ it is still expensive for the applications it has.
Currently I use Opera for Weather.
Currency converter For free, Also there is a conversion application APPforge which I removed because I hate there Booster and its advertising attachment.

By the way, I found that there are bugs in the new convertor; it turned out that 1 pound equals to millions of KG 😃
