      @sjælland Hello, the selected layers are only saved to the local storage of a browser on your computer. If you have a settings that deletes all the site data, that is likely the reason you have issues.
      Layers are not saved to the cloud, we will remove this text.

        Seeing this as well, but only in Android widgets. Opening the app or refreshing the widgets manually will correct the location error. I live in south metro Atlanta, but it will routinely claim that I'm in Sandy Springs, GA or, as of today, Central Florida.

                @korina Hello, since I moved to Spain two weeks ago, my location is now accurately reported. I already moved some hundreds kilometers along the Pyreneus mountains, and the app correctly gives me the weather of where I am, both at startup and with "Find my location". I also can see the blue pulsing dot, in the map, corresponding to my location, regardless how I move the map. Thanks for the great app and for the very responsive support forum!

                      I had no problem with my location because I had not used GPS positioning until then.
                      I will use this positioning mean to test the new update.
