      In Weather Radar mode, I get a blue location dot with a constant "pinging" animation on it. This dot is NEVER near my actual location when using the web interface, regardless of how the Startup Location or browser location data are set.

      Is there a way to just turn it off? It's annoyingly distracting away from my Favorites which have the actual locations I'm interested in.

      Thanks!

        Hello @Zoot, it is not possible to turn it off but thank you for the suggestion, we'll consider it in the future.

        Maybe you have set your startup location to be determined by the IP address?

          @petra-pik I have the same issue. This is annoying. I don't know why they can't get this location issue resolved. It should always point to whatever city I specify.

              Obviously, there is no way to set this annoying blue dot to my street address. I guess I am just glad that it is on the same side of town that I am in.

                Hi @JDMyatt, what device do you use, does this device have a GPS, or is your localization based on your IP?
