I am wanting to put a mountain backdrop to a widget. The weather for MULHACEN, highest peak in Spain, is found on yr.no at
http://www.yr.no/place/Spain/Andalucía/Mulhacén/
Geonames-ID: 2513428
I have tried adding the Geoname ID to the widget code but it cant pick up the weather. This would make a useful mountain weather resource for walkers and trekkers if we could get this working.
Can you help?
Thanks

First Pavel has to add the Geonames-ID to the database of YoWindow - and it's a pity but YoWindow can only handle populated places, no mountains or administrative divisions, so your mountain won't show up in YoWindow (in the near future).

Well, actually now we can

Now you may request mountains and other places that cannot contain locations inside.
Think I need to update the instruction.
I have successfully added the mountain to YoWindow data base.
