"My Location" in Home Page of new HTC ROM - how to set manually?

I don't want to use the Google My Location service in order to enable weather on my home screen. Can I not just *tell* it the place that I want it to represent (which isn't always where I am anyway). So I've deleted every location from the weather tab except the one I want, but it always shows it as item #2, with "My Location" as the first one. Can I not set the location in the home page as a fixed location for the weather? thanks

Click on the clock and add a new location.

Got it, thanks! The two locations were listed there, so I didn't have to add the other one, just select it. Gah..! Thanks again.

Default Map Application?

In the contacts on the HD2 when you click on an address the application will bring up Google maps and give directions but is there a way to make bing maps the default app when clicking on a contacts address? If so how do I make bing my default?
Thanks

anyone know the answer to this?
and yes i did a search, and it brought me to this thread.
thanks

Deleted My Location by mistake?

Hi all i have deleted my location from the weather list by mistake and now it does not update whilst i am travelling to the different cities etc just stays with the one city/town i have selected is there any way i can readd this functionality?
Thanks
Ben
NOW SORTED I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I DID DEFINATELY DELETE MY LOCATION IN THE LIST BUT THE WEATHER IS CONTROLLED BY THE INPUTS ON THE WORLD CLOCK SO SELECTING MY LOCATION IN WORLD CLOCK BROUGHT BACK THE FUNCTIONALITY I WAS MISSING

i can't directly test this, cos i can't find any way to delete my location.
sure you didn't just turn it off?
settings menu all settings system location services
make sure its on, and then on the weather tab click menu, enable my location.

Hi yes deff deleted it all above ok except when going to weather tab menu enable my location is no longer there any more. The way i deleted it was by going to remove location in weather menu, then accidentally deleted my location when getting rid of other cities i did'nt want.
Thanks
Ben

right, how odd that i dont have that option. When i choose remove locations, it only shows the cities, (there are only two in mine), 'my location' isn't an option.
Did you go to the location service in settings.system, just to check?

yep checked those settings are turned on, i had about 6 cities preset which i deleted!

[Q] Open location with navigation

I'm on the road a lot for work.
I usually open a calendar appointment, click address and up pops Google maps. From there I have to click on the destination on the map, click Route and then I get to click the navigation button.
This hasn't always been like that. I remember Navigation opening immediately when clicking a location link in my calendar.
Where can I set the default action for this?

Questions go in the Q&A section

[Q] Where do i see location history?

So i've had the location history enabled for a few days now, but where do i see the results on my phone? Can't find it.

Location history is available from the main menu in either Maps, Local, or Latitude (same menu).

I only see the option to turn it on / off, not the actual location history.

Your history is shown here on the latitude web page https://latitude.google.com/latitude/b/0 you will need to sign in with your Google account first if not already.
Alternatively tap the Latitude option within Google maps on your phone, then in the popup latitude window which will show just you if you have not added any others to share your location with, tap yourself then tap location history.

Thanks. So i've just noticed that it's showing some wrong locations sometimes. For example, when i'm in a building where there are different stores, it's showing the wrong store on some days. Is there any way to delete this and / or correct it?
EDIT: It's asking me if this place is correct, but the only button i can press says that it IS correct. There's no button to tell the device that this place is actually wrong.
