Hi.
I have my weather station running nicely, and decided to go ahead and 
install the 'forecast' extension.  I also grabbed the 'nonfree' data as I'm 
located near London in the UK... 

  root@weather:~# history | grep apt
  505  apt-get install xtide
  506  apt-get install xtide-data
  507  apt-get install xtide-data-nonfree

I have an API key from the UK Met Office, and am ready to rock.   First, I 
decide to test xtide... 

root@weather:~# tide -l London
Indexing /usr/share/xtide/harmonics-dwf-20100529-nonfree.tcd...
Indexing /usr/share/xtide/harmonics-dwf-20100529-free.tcd...
Indexing /usr/share/xtide/harmonics-initial.tcd...
XTide Error:  STATION_NOT_FOUND
The specified station was not found in any harmonics file.

Error details:
Could not find: London

OK, so there's a problem.  No luck with 'London, UK' either.  Or 'London, 
England'.  I google and find a thread on this group from 2014, and one of 
the responses in there is to test with 'Bangor'.  

root@weather:~# tide -l "Bangor, Northern Ireland"

Yep, that works.  So I look for 'weewx predict tides' in google and get 
this site: http://tides.mobilegeographics.com/

I search in there for London, and get several responses (see screenshot).  
I tried the first three of them, but get an error with each.  I even tried 
'harmonics.world    51.5000° N, 0.0833° W', and the coordinates.  Every 
time, I try with double quotes and single quotes.  Nothing seems to work. 

This is going to be really easy, and I'll kick myself when someone points 
it out to me.... 

Thanks.
