Windy has difficulties finding/displaying the current position
-
Windy has never been very quick and stable in displaying the current position. Note: I am of course comparing with other apps like Google maps, map out, Komoot all trails, etc.
For a few weeks now, it is even worse. Sometimes Windy is not able to display the position. I am currently in Norway and very often it displays me various locations in my home country Germany. important: all the other apps almost instantly display my current position, so GPS signal is strong. I don’t understand how that can be, because I assume that Windy uses the same signal from my iPhone 10 as all the other apps so why is Windy not displaying the position while all the others do?

@mfk1955 Hi, can you please inform us about the version of Windy and iOS?

@mfk1955 Hi, can you provide the screen recording and send it to support@windy.com?

Hi, I don't think a screen recording would be of any help. You would see that windy shows the GPS location spot at some random place in Germany (while I am in Norway). How should that help the support ti figure out WHY is it doing that. Either you can reproduce the effect or some developper has an idea of what the cause might be but a screen recording certainly does not give you any clue. -
@mfk1955 You are correct, but I was not sure if I understand the issue from the first message and we are aware of certain issue similar to this one and I wanted to see if we talk about the same one.
Now I know that you mean something else and unfortunately, we are not able to replicate this one with the same SW versions. Did you try to reinstall Windy on your device?
