I am wanting to use the Google Weather API - by passing lat and long values. However it seems Google is needing these formatted differently to the values I have stored.

i.e. For the town of McTavish I have values of 45.5 and -73.583

This works here: http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/WXCurrentObXML/index.xml?query=45.5,-73.583

But when I use Google it does not: See: www.google.com/ig/api?weather=,,,45.5,-73.583

Any help appreciated. I would prefer to use the Google Data.
