Rodewisch and Auerbach (Germany)

2845953 ; Rodewisch
2954602 ; Auerbach/Sachsen (don't know, which "Auerbach" is the one in my neighbourhood)

Last Point:
"Agatharied", "Amrum", "Böttingen", "Ort", "Seebad Ahlbeck", "Wilgersdorf", "Zingst" and many many others are towns in Germany with less than 100,000 or even 10,000 citizens.
Wheras "Zwickau" (with nearly 100,000 citizens) doesn't appear in the list of big cities!
This should be corrected!

Thanks for adding and correcting.

There's also a list of all citys in Germany >100,000 inhabitants on Wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_ ... eutschland
It would be nice, if you could check and equalize those lists to present only real big cities in the German list of big cities.
Many thanks.

Where did I found out about YoWindow?
Yesterday I read the ComputerBild and their was a link to YoWindow. I downloaded YoWindow and suddenly I was surprised about how good it works. It's better than all other Weather Apps because it shows directly the weather outside and in some hours - so I can take a look outside at each time I want to. That's really great.

Hello and welcome to our forum.

Please read this topic before posting a request to new locations http://he1.yowindow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13 (there you will find also a tutorial in German)
Your requested Auerbach ID 2954602 is an administration location and the right ID is 2954600.
This is very important because there are many "Auerbach" (Bavaria, Baden Württemberg, Austria) with different Geo-ID's.
The ID 284593 of Rodewisch is OK.
Wheras "Zwickau" (with nearly 100,000 citizens) doesn't appear in the list of big cities!
Exactly, Zwickau has "nearly" 100.000 inhabitants (92.000) and you will find this city on our list on "all towns"! So nothing has to be "corrected".

Your request has been put under pending locations. Your location will be updated in a few days.
Please check here every now and then to see if the database has been updated.

Enjoy YoWindow!
