Hi @banksiaboy You can help the search engine by putting "auburn aus" in the search bar to get your result. That's because of how the search engine works, not really a bug, but rather a suggestion. Many thanks! [image: 1760692533762-screenshot-2025-10-17-at-11.15.28.png]

@emanueol Your screenshots show you are using another app. The Windy app with a blue logo has nothing to do with Windy.com with a red logo. Here you are on the Windy.com community forum. So we cannot help you. You should check if there is any help in this app.

User location markers

AlanTheBeast — Invalid Date

Please add user location markers and a range/direction cursor.

ie: the user (in his settings) sets a location (L/L) to have a mark on the map.

An option is to have notation beside the cursor with range and direction (to or from) the selected marker.

@Mathias-W Hi, we are planning to update the whole map and its labels, hopefully this year. So this should be fixed with this update.

@Suty sorry, but adding a calibrate button that offsets whatever value the device is returning by the module of this angle plus the set offset doesn't seem to be too difficult, and fixes this annoyance of the users rotting the cellphone to figure out if the storm is coming from behind you or from somewhere else in an unfamiliar region when you are travelling. Just adding my 2 cents. Cheers.

On app (Android) and website, how do I see for what elevation the forecast is?

@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.

@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.

@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.
