Forecast map always shows incorrect location

[John Koopman]

Everytime the forecast map is opened, it shows a location in the ocean which is not anywhere near me. Specifally it shows KD8TUV. This means that everytime I want to use the map I need to move the map around to find where I am.
Would it be possible to show the location where the user has chosen as his location? As it is now it is not very useful. If you have to scroll all over the place it wastes time. The ideal purpose for a weather indicator in the toolbar is to see a quick and easy shot at the weather where the user is located. Having to scroll all over the place takes too much time, it would be just as quick to go to a website in your browser.

Goal: If possible open the forecast map to the users location.

hi John Koopman,

if this happens:

"Everytime the forecast map is opened, it shows a location in the ocean which is not anywhere near me. Specifally it shows KD8TUV."

then you have not set the location in the preferences where you are! This needs to be done first. Then the map works. For me
it did in Ubuntu 13.04, 13.10 and 14.04. I was really satisfied with this little app and I am waitin for testing it in Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn.

I have the same issue--with a caveat. The forecast map seems to work just fine when I first open the application; however, every time I open the forecast map thereafter, it shows a location in the ocean which is not anywhere near me. My preferences are correctly configured to show my location in Atlanta, GA. My config: fully updated Mint 17 64 bit. I hope this helps.

Correction to the above: the forecast map seems to work just fine when I first open the application _and_ the first time after each refresh weather event; however, in between refresh events, it shows a location in the ocean (identified as station "sneg-test") which is not anywhere near me. Hope this helps.
