      The title says it all.
      I know why.. our POP is in Chicago.. but I"m an hour SW of St Louis. Can I please disable that blinking blue circle or tell it where to go?... Its definitely not my location. :) Thanks....

        @chief78cj7 Unfortunately, it is not possible to turn this off and it is not planned to change it. I am aware that this issue exists in certain cases, but we cannot affect it.

          @Suty youl could allow me to turn the Big Blue thing off.. its not helpful. Too bad some of the management of Windy doesn't have Starlink to be bothered by it as well.... probably would get some time allotted to address this bug. Yes... its a bug. You can't blame your users for their POP.

          This is absolutely a thing of "the customer is right.. it is a bug.. but yea, we don't care enough to fix it". Sigh.......

            @chief78cj7 Hi, I already discussed this with colleagues and it should be possible to turn this off in the version 42 in a few weeks.

              Sweet! My POP is in Chicago, quite far from my location--about 350 miles. Would love to be able to just set the location instead of the app trying to figure it out.
