<![CDATA[Location Error]]>New Premium user.
Startup set as my town.
Issue observed when using desktop version.
Works fine on cell phone.

I have an issue with the blue location flasher. Location flasher never shows my actual location. It looks like it works by IP address and that never matches my town. It does show various other nearby towns depending on how my ISP has me connected.

Can the flashing location indicator be manually controlled or simply eliminated from view?
There is a heart showing my town (set as a favorite) but the misplaced blue location flasher demands attention and is distracting. Would be nice if it could actually show my location.
Thank you

There has to be thousands of other people who have the same issue. I think it would be good to add to the desktop version the ability to either remove the location flasher, or manually set it.
