      Is there a way to you can pinpoint your GPS location through windy.com on a laptop using a browser?

      I'm an offshore sailor. I have Starlink. When I'm offshore, I want to be able to use Windy.com in order to pull down realtime satellite imagery (as one example). My laptop is fed GPS information through an onboard GPS unit connected via a NMEA2000 -→ USB connection.

      Does such functionality exist within Windy?

        Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be possible. Several posts mention this problem. Even if you get your position from your GPS on your laptop via the NMEA network, Windy can't use it.

        A user offered to develop a plugin, but I don't know why it has not been published
