Current Location wrong

Post by FvE »

Hi Pasha,

I just saw that my current location chosen is about 50 km south of where I am.
I'm at home in Leiden. It chooses a location under Rotterdam.

I have the same fault on both my phone and tablet.
Weather Underground chooses a PWS accordingly.

Android TV can't choose a location.
I take it's because it has no GPS?
If I activate it my home location shows a question mark.

Google maps shows the right location.
My iPad shows the right location too.

Hey, Fred!
This is our fault.
We have changed the location search algorithm inadvertently 2 days ago.
Since yesterday evening we have reverted the algorithm back.
However, to detect the location properly you need to move to some other location or uninstall/install YoWindow.
Sorry :(
Get YoWindow weather app for your phone or tablet.

Thanks Pasha,

I haven't succeeded yet.
I'll probably need to move further away from home.

Uninstalling/reinstalling didn't help.
