Re: [weewx-user] Re: tides forecasting can't find London

[Cycle London]

I was aware of that, but the wiki (
https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/forecasting) says..

"Tide data for Canada, Germany, and the UK are in a separate package:

sudo apt-get install xtide-data-nonfree"

I thought that by installing that, it would work.

Oh well.  i'll have to dtop the ride part.

Thanks for the help.  I'll try to get 'regular' predictions working.

As a citizen of the most corrupt, greediest and sickest country on the face
of the planet, allow me to apologise for the behaviour of the greedy MFs
over at the UKHO.
