    • Manually insert your GPS Coordinates for Web Based viewing?

      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.

      Here is a cropped out and much easier to read version.

      Device is a Samsung S21 on T-Mobile, but i also noticed this for the last 5-6 months, to which i had a Note 9 on Verizon. with the same issue.

    • Compass Direction is wrong

      Hello Windy Community, semi-longtime user of Windy, new forums user.

      i searched the forums for this issue, and i found a 2019 post concerning the compass directions being wrong with no activity since posted.

      i have a Samsung S21 with the windy app and i also use Windy on my Windows based devices at home and on the go when i have my laptop.

      there is a ~40-50 degree discrepancy of compass heading on the mobile app and its always 40-50 degrees left of the actual orientation of the user.

      notice the direction the overlaying calibrated compass is indicating a bearing of 269 Degrees Due West and the direction Windy is showing roughly Bearing 235 Degrees South West.

      ** Okay got the screen shot,

      the R-11 d/s at the bottom right was picked up as i moved my fingers to grab the screenshot as that app is highly sensitive to movement to a high resolution timer. but i was not moving myself.
