When the weather station software is properly configured, it will upload your
data to either or both weather services for you and others to observe the records
of your local weather. Log onto each weather reporting site, www.wunderground
.com (see Figure 17-7) and www.findu.com using your weather report accounts (click
Weather Reports to reach a page similar to the example shown in Figure 17-8), to see
if your data is being transferred correctly. You will notice that both sites present your
location in latitude and longitude and can present maps of your location.
