I am a professional meteorologist and I've tried to get the attention of the good folks at Windy several times. I decided to subscribe to see if the site had become more suitable for weather professionals. I quickly discovered it has not. I thought I might use it for my daily weather videos for hardcore skiers, riders and sledders at Whistler. In the end, the functionality is so limited and so unsuitable for pros that I'm requesting a refund.

It is a shame because I see enormous potential in the site. David.

To set the startup location, tap on the menu button, then settings and there is a Start-up layer and location option at the bottom.
