Thanks for the quick reply.

Converting from decimal degrees to degrees/minutes/seconds is a simple but tedious little process; there’s probably a pre-written subroutine floating around to accomplish it in whatever language/framework you’re using, but I don’t know where you’d get such a thing. (The last time I wrote any code or did any programming, Jimmy Carter was in office and FORTRAN and punch cards were the computer status quo.) I thought that Yahoo! might provide feeds in both formats and that you could simply choose between them.

cschw:
Decimal degrees = DD.dddd°

Convention: 
Lat: +N/-S
Long: +E/-W

Assuming absolute values:
(DD.dddd - DD)*60 = MM.mmmm
(MM.mmmm - MM)*60 = SS.ssss

DD° MM' SS.ssss"

Wikipedia recommends using truncate and modulo....

I recall to have seen other themes with missing .ico files in the past (add-on I can't recall where I got them from, presumably this or another sWeather thread) and I just stopped using them :-[.
Could adding idiot-proof errorhandling to the routine that shows the icons be helpful as being a more generic solution?

Sure, that would be the logical thing to do but we can't have that in a Skwire Empire app, can we?  The Expectations Bar™ would be moved slightly up and I like to keep that thing at a nice low level.   :P
