      Suggestion. In the settings for your opening screen. You have use GPS, use IP address, or last location. I use a VPN on my computer and none of those options work. Can you please add the option that we can manually put in GPS coordinates or at least choose from favorites list.
      Thanks,

        @MountainDog Not arguing. I use a VPN on both Mac and iPhone, and Windy finds location fine on either one. It's been a long time since I used a Windows machine, and I'm not sure, but I wonder if there is a permission setting that needs to be changed. I'm curious to see what others say.

        EDIT: FWIW I checked this again on my MacBook Air, thinking maybe the result would be different for different VPN locations. This time, Windy in browser will not find location regardless of VPN location. However, I turned off the VPN and even closed the browser and started over, and Windy still won't find my location. Not sure what is going on now.

        EDIT 2: I switched browsers (from Edge to Safari) and find location works with or without VPN being on. Note: I had not used Windy in Safari and so had to allow Safari to access location. Not sure what is happening with Windy in Edge this morning, except I often encounter little issues like this where something works or doesn't work depending on the browser.
