      Ever since the unfortunate new UI, there's been an expanding circle at the location designated by my ip address. It's annoying and serves no purpose for me. I tried to find a way to change the location to somewhere off the screen, but I couldn't. Changing my profile location also didn't work. Setting it to GPS from IP designated, also no workee.

      So is there a way to turn this thing completely off. I don't need to be reminded of my location and as I said, it's very annoying.

        @jbclem Hi, your location should be available in default in radar layer or as a default position after app startup, which can be changed in app settings. It shouldn't be visible anywhere else, until you tap on Find my location. Can you provide further details?

          Sorry for the delay answering...forgot about this request.

          I don't know what details you need, but I'm using a desktop and there is a Search Location window but not a Find My Location one that I can see. Putting a different city in this window takes me to that city on the map, but when I return(by moving the map) to my Los Angeles location, the location circle (with it's annoying animation) is still there. And unless I zoom way in to the location, the animation obscures part of the map nearby. Which can be a problem if there is a rainstorm passing over this area and I can't see the radar image properly.

          Maybe it's just me, but I find it incredibly annoying and it attracts my eye attention away from other parts of the map. Is there no way to permanently move it to another part of the radar map so it is out of sight? Or to turn it off completely. Do you have any suggestions?

            I agree. Please turn off the stupid blue pulsating button. It is very distracting and serves no purpose. Its location is where my provider connects to the Internet - no where near where I live, which would be even worse if it was.
            I just subscribed to premium and that is the first thing I noticed. I'm having second thoughts already.
