@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.

@horusafloat Hi, we have just released a new update that contains a fix for the location bug. Please update Windy and let us know if the problem persists.

@korina Oh alright then. No, no VPN. And yes, all permissions are given to the app.

@tryune01 Hello, do you mean location in the app or widget?

@th3us3r

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.

@akajoep you can follow these steps https://community.windy.com/topic/11080/widget-problems-what-to-do

@Korina Hi! Ok, now it is all clear. Thank you for your help. I hope this function will be fixed shortly. Happy new year by the way!

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).

Seccond bonus: Time zone :).
