      It always gets my location wrong (PC/Windows). Puts an annoying blue dot in the wrong place.

      It's almost right, about 7 miles out, but that makes it really unintuitive when zooming out because it's difficult to keep track of where you actually are, and your brain automatically tries to lock onto the blue dot because it's almost in the right place, but it's far enough away to make it confusing.

      I've tried enabling and disabling locations in my browser, manually entering the location in my browser, and I've set my startup location in Windy manually, neither has helped.

      Favourites doesn't work because that splatters stuff all over my screen which get in the way.

      Please give us the option to disable it, or better still enter the blue dot location manually.

        Hello @beermatt, thank you for your feedback, we will consider it.

        You mentioned the location being 7 miles out – did you allow our website to use your device location?
