      Why is the map showing me this irrelevant throbbing point on Chicago? I'm not located in Chicago, do not have it as a favorite, and geolocating me via IP address does not show me in Chicago.

      I don't see it in the settings anywhere.

      Previously I would get that point on Dallas; again I don't live anywhere near there, but I am on Starlink, which (at least for me) makes geolocating think I'm in Dallas.

        Hello @Kaupasetic, can you please provide further info about the setup, you are using? We would like to get more info about this case. Which browser do you use? Did you allow getting your location to the browser? Where is your location, when you get these in Windy?

          Latest Chrome.
          Location detection not allowed (as it is always incorrect due to Starlink).
          I am in Missouri.
          Today the point is showing up in Winnipeg.
          It appears this point only is shown in the radar layer.

            @Kaupasetic Do you have possibility to use the different provider? Starlink is probably the reason of this, but I would like to confirm this.

              @Ondřej-Šutera I disconnected from Starlink, and connected to a Verizon hotspot. Now the point is showing in Wichita, KS. When I geolocate myself, it says Potosi, MO. Wichita and Potosi are 255 miles apart, and Potosi is 130 miles away from me.

              Sorry for the delays in responding. I have my preferences set to email me reply notifications, but I'm not receiving any.

                @Kaupasetic I am afraid that we cannot affect this, it is adjusted by the provider.
