Identically named cities are indistinguishable in weather-app

[Max Brustkern]

I live in Lafayette, US, but there are 5 Lafayettes in the US. I can't find any way to determine which is which in the app. This is likely to be the case for many countries with territorial divisions between the country and city level.

This is on a maguro with the 20130916.3 ubuntu-system image, if that ends up making a difference.

The cities are distinct in the clock app.

Hi,

the cities are indeed distinctive in the clock app, if it's a US location. But not necessarily for european locations....

Regarding the weather app, it relates to the weather data provider. Currently a state or county is not provided by the used API, but we're looking for an appropriate alternative.

Cheers

@Martin, what do you mean by identical cities in european locations not being distinguishable in the clock app? Do you have any specific examples to test? In the clock app, we show the city, state and country name which should make each result distinct. In the clock app we are using the geonames.org for their API.
