I'm interested in writing a Geolocation based Weather Web application
(no Java thanks) for my new G1 device.
I see your feeds here:
http://backstage.bbc.co.uk/data/WeatherFeeds?v=p12
Though how do I code lat,long into {world|id}/{location_id}?
Looking at that URL whats in the RSS feeds - it looks like you can't.
However each RSS feed does seem to contain longitude and latitude data, eg:
<geo:lat>51.52</geo:lat>
<geo:long>-0.10</geo:long>
I guess your mashup will need to derive the mappings from that. Cache the
latest for each feed, indexed by long/lat perhaps?
