Sometimes when you select a point it provides lat/long and other times it provides a shore location.<br />
Is there a way to force windy to provide the lat/long for a selected point always and never a shore location?</p>
<p dir="auto">Consider selecting a point at 26.58N and 82.66W. It will show that lat/long. If I select a point slightly east, it will show “Lee County” with no lat/long.  At that point it is more than 15 miles offshore, though without lat/long I can’t determine for certain.</p>
<p dir="auto">Our weather is highly dependent on location on the Gulf coast.  There can be a big difference in winds between 15 miles offshore and 35 miles offshore, for instance.  So lat/long is important when planning offshore fishing sites.  I try to match lat/long with the most favorable conditions on a given day and plan fishing spots accordingly. Without lat/long, that is guess work in Windy.</p>
<p dir="auto">Also telling the user that they are somewhere long range the vicinity of Lee County, for instance is of no value.  I can see the coastal area the map.</p>
<p dir="auto">If you don’t have a way to force lat/long, could you add that feature? The info is already in the system.  An alternative to help might be to make the lat/long grid to smaller increment such as 25 minutes subgrid line rather than only whole degree line. Whole degree grid scale is too long an increment.</p>

<p dir="auto">The coordinates are displayed by the picker both at sea and on land. You just need to turn on <em>”Weather picker contains lat lon”</em> in Settings</p>
