Days forecast widget
Before my previous post I've attempted twice to change the model to NAM and both times it defaulted to ECMWF. Now it's set on NAM 👍
Detailed widget
Port Stanley, Ontario, Canada
42°39'33.4"N 81°13'04.0"W

Thank You in advance
@marknagy Thank You for the update but unfortunately NAM is not available on Windy detailed widget
and on Windy days widget it says it's not available in my area, although I'm in North America.
Yes, PLEASE add NAM model to widgets.
Thank You in advance
@korina this last update is amazing but unfortunately it didn't fix the aforementioned radar problem.
It appears that same algorithm is interpolating data with different resolution quality which makes graphic representation more sensitive.
You can clearly see the radius of incoming weather differently interpolated between NOAA and GoC data while radial lines are still recognizable even through actual weather reading.
To fix this and add ability to set preferred weather model on app startup would make this app absolutely perfect, for me :)
Thank you for your efforts!
@gkikas-lgpz Thank you for your explanation but I fail to understand how is it helping to solve this issue?
Infact, where I assume data is coming from there are no issues with radial spokes :(

For some time now there is repeating glitch in representation of data taken from Canadian government weather radar.
I'm seeing (on widget, in app and browser) random lines of supposed precipitation as well as permanent ones like in picture below.
Big THANK YOU for awesome work you all do.
@korina latest update didn't fix it either :(
Thanks for your efforts!
@korina yet another update and Windy on Android only has permission to use location when using the app :(
@ivo how about models that are already listed under "Compare" function?
In my instance NAM is more accurate than ECMWF and it would be greatly appreciated if I could set it as startup model on a browser, app and widgets rather than having to manually chose it each time.
Another little suggestion would be to add a setting option where one could choose to restart on last used map scale rather than having to manually zoom in each time on startup.
Thank You in advance
Been waiting and posting for a while about this.
@korina Disappointing to see yet another app update without addressing location permissions on Android.
By now, there were multiple posts pointing out the inability to give permission to the app to have access to location not only "when using the app" but "all the time" which seems to be the root of a problem for people that have chosen to use GPS as startup location on their widgets.
In any case, Happy New Year :)
That option would be awesome!
Or you could simply have the app on startup remember to go to the scale it had when it was closed.
Thanks in advance
@Korina Hi there.
Upper right corner has "refresh arrows" button and lower right has "settings gear". That's the one you need to tap to be able to access "Update Widget" button.
I'm not using VPN and I travel quite a bit.
My cellphone provider uses dynamic IP assigned addresses so one day it will show me 600km away, next 100km and next 200km.
That's why I have it set in app and browser to use GPS only, and on auto refresh or tapped refresh it doesn't for whatever reason.
Thanks
Still waiting for an option to choose which forecast model to see on widget.
Thanks in advance
Same issue here.
Latest public app version on S9 with updated Android.
After few refresh autocycles radar widget picks up location by IP although in settings on app and web it's set to do so by GPS.
If I tap refresh it will update radar graphics but not location in 98% of the time.
Sometimes taping on refresh will change location from actual GPS to random IP 250km away.
However, if I tap on the gear and choose "Update Widget" it never fails on GPS location.
Hope this helps and thanks for a great app and service.
I have exactly the same issue and can't wait for option to switch models to become available.
Thank You for your efforts!
