<p dir="auto">When I open Windy app,sometimes I get my real GPS position and sometimes I get the position of the IP address  which of course is not what I need!<br />
Also, even touching the home icon, the location icon or the "find my location" option, it takes a very long time to get a position, and even after waiting, most of the times it is the IP geopositon instead of the GPS one.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'm using an iPhone and an iPad, this happens in both devices. Both have a built in GPS.</p>
<p dir="auto">In comparison, when I open Navionics Boating app, my position appear instantly and perfectly based on my GPS data.</p>
<p dir="auto">I'd like to have Windy acquire. my position from GPS as soon as I open the app, instantly, no wait time,  just like Navionics does.</p>
<p dir="auto">Thank you!</p>
