        Hello @Salah53, I would recommend checking if you have set 'Use GPS' as your Startup location in the Menu > Settings and allowed the application to use your device's location.
        We will be releasing a new version of the application. Let us know if the issue persists once you have the new version.

          I see the same problem. The location provided is incorrect by several hundred km

          GPS is turned on on the Android system and the location in the app is set to use GPS.

          The app also has permission to use location

            My wife and me comparing and discussing the weather with windy. She has other results as me at the same point and model.
            What's going wrong?

              If "same point" means strictly same lon/lat (until the last decimal digit), then Windy should display always same values for a given parameter, same weather forecast model and same validity time, on all user sessions.

              As values on a given position on map are interpolated from nearest model grid cells (e.g. for GFS 0.25°, each grid cell is a square of about 28X28Km), when two positions are slightly different, the interpolation results could be also slightly different.

              ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                  Bonjour, je suis un utilisateur vivant en France et depuis quelques semaines votre système de géolocalisation ne trouve pas ma position juste, il me situe à 100 km de mon domicile !
                  Je vous précise que la localisation par GPS est activée et qu'elle fonctionne très bien avec toutes les autres applications nécessitant mon positionnement. Merci de bien vouloir corriger ce bug dans une prochaine version. Cordialement, M. ANDRIEUX
