Wireless Help

When you're ready, point your wireless-ready handheld device to http://www.atmos.uiuc.edu/wap/ Back

The wireless weather site is intended only for wireless-ready handheld devices!! I can't get this to work on my web browser Standard web browsers do not understand pages in wml (wireless markup language) format. The address above is only for internet ready handheld devices that support wml and its parent protocol WAP (Wireless Access Protocol) ...simply stated, this site is not intended for use with regular web browsers. All the information provided on the wireless weather page can be found at http://www.atmos.uiuc.edu/weather/ for standard web browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, etc.). Can I take a sneek peek without my phone? If you do not have a suitable device, and are curious to see how it looks, use this WAP simulator developed by wapsilon.com. You can use the up and down arrows to highlight links, the yes button to follow the link, and the no button to go back. To view this site, follow the link called 'Enter Address' and type www.atmos.uiuc.edu/wap in the window that appears. How do I set this up on my phone? Many wireless service providers have different ways to allow you to access the web. Becasue of this, we can not offer one true solution. Usually, service providers have a web site where you can create bookmarked links. These bookmarks are then accessable to you on your phone the next time you call. Some service providers do allow you to enter a URL (web address) directly on your phone. How this can be done varies by phone. Some phones do not support anything more than text. For these phones, neither the logo (seen at right) nor the radar image will be available. I'm an AvantGo user. Can I get this information through AvantGo? Yes. AvantGo users can go to http://www.avantgo.com and log in. From there, you can create a channel for your account. Point the channel to http://www.atmos.uiuc.edu/weather/wireless/wx.html Be sure to mark that you wish to include images (so you can get the radar), and refresh on every sync (to avoid keeping old data). AvantGo is a software program that allows users to download web pages to their PDA's. You can create a free account by going to http://www.avantgo.com Under products & services, choose Individual -> Mobile Internet Services Is there just a simple text page I can get the observations and forecasts from? Yes. Point to http://www.atmos.uiuc.edu/weather/wireless/wx.txt   Please report problems/bugs associated with the data Thank you, and enjoy!! -DAS Internet Development Team
