      @wendlland-tyrell said in On app (Android) and website, how do I see for what elevation the forecast is?:

      Typically, weather forecasts provide data based on the meteorological station's location

      You talk about a time when forecasts were made by meteorologists from every official weather station.
      This is very different nowadays, as on Windy, it is global or regional weather models that provide the forecast and the predictions are not linked to a specific weather station.

      @davemyron Hello, and what location do you have set as your default? Is it favorite, GPS, or IP address?

      @ahlston Hi, do you have GPS as your default location in the app settings? You also need to allow Windy to use your location if you didn't do so yet.

      Please also make sure to update Windy, we released an update, that contains bug fixes regarding the location issue.

      Have you tried to set your home location as favorite and then use it as start up location?

      @trashify Hello, did you try to set a certain location in your widget? If you have some saved favorites, you can set one of them as default location.

      Same issue here. I have to manually update the widget, otherwise it can't get the current location. This just started in the past few days.

      Hello, I am using desktop windy windows 10 with paid Windy subscription and I am having the same issue. GPS is wrong appr. 5 miles out, IP is way off several counties away and there is no way that I can find to actually put in my address or lat/long coordinates. This would be a huge improvement to this service. Especially with Dark Sky being sucked up by Apple. You may get more subscribers that way. Is this in the works, am I missing the boat or its not an option.
      Thank you
      Lisa

      Hello @XaviorvorteX,

      you can choose how your location will be determined, there are 3 options:

      by IP address by GPS by custom location

      Which of these did you try?

      On latest public beta version, when clicking "Forecast for this location", map scale doesn't change; map just moves in the window at same scale, in order to get selected position on the center of the map (which is a pretty standard behavior on web map applications).
