I want to make weather app covers not only United states but also world wide cities. Any idea?

I searched Latitude & Longitude and write the code like the video but it doesn't work. Do I need to change API itself if I make world-wide weather app? Please help me.

var cities = {
                            "chiba" : {coords: {latitude: 35.607267, longtitude: 140.106291}},
                            "brisbane" : {coords: {latitude: -27.471011, longtitude: 153.023449}},
                            "new york" : {coords: {latitude: 40.712784, longtitude: -74.005941}},
                            "current location" : ""
};

You will only need to change the coordinates to ensure they match your target destination. I did one at http://carlmungazi.com/goodweather/index.html and the code for the cities is:

//create associative array for cities               
        var cities = {  
                        "harare"        :   {coords: {latitude: 17.8639, longitude:-31.0297}},
                        "beijing"       :   {coords: {latitude: 39.9167, longitude: -116.3833}},
                        "minsk"         :   {coords: {latitude: 53.9000, longitude: -27.5667}},
                        "toronto"       :   {coords: {latitude: 43.7000, longitude: -79.4000}},
                        "panama city"   :   {coords: {latitude: 8.983333, longitude: -79.516670}},
                        "current location" : ""
                     };

Masahiro Yasuda - I've just realised that I took this app down yesterday. Here's a link to the github code https://github.com/CarlMungazi/carlmungazi/blob/master/goodweather/index.html. You can copy/fork the code and run it on your own environment.
