      Is this possible at all? I know my coordinates, however my web browser cannot put my dot, directly on top of my home, unless I use my cellphone.

      I've tried the API and several other tools to more accurately reflect my position when using Chrome and/or Firefox and IP Geolocation.

        @CapStar362 You can add a place to your favorites using our picker which has a diameter of few hundred of meters (simply click on the map, open the picker and click heart icon in the top left section of the window). You will not hit your house perfectly but in terms of weather forecast, the resolution of 1-2 km is sufficient enough to bring you the most relevant data to your location.
        Hope this helps you, Niki

            Phones are fitted with a build-in GPS. But desktops and most of laptops don’t have this feature. Very few laptops have built-in GPS chips.
            So Window is not the problem.
