I don't have a dock yet, but if I activate it with a magnet it does show my changed position from home to work. When it works....

 

great find! I think I'm going to keep this manual from now on unless they update this feature for automatic.

I don't know why i would keep it on auto anyway because it doesn't refresh cities on its own. I work in Brooklyn and live in NJ and going to and from I always have to refresh on my own. So i might as well keep it on manually and get the added radar and hourly forecast feature.

 

Mine refreshed automagically, but I don't usually carry my dock with me.

maybe I should set mine to manual.

 

Now if only the radar could be shown on the doc screen and not in a web browser, with animated updates. Now that would be weather info!

 

I think that the reason you are getting more data is that server-side weather service keeps more data for the zip code you are using. I live in a Chicago suburb. When I drive into Chicago, I get the full forecast. When I go to the burbs, I only get current temp and the mini forecast since the weather service doesn't provide forecast data specific to my burb.

 

I haven't encountered anything automagically changing locations. I'm not sure how often it looks for the geo-location though.
