      @karsten13
      also… replace the hash symbols with various numbers… im not posting my exact Lat/Long for obvious reasons…

      make sure ur doing

      lat:
      

      and

      lon:
      

      i had it set to lat & lon(G) which is incorrect. hence why it was 80+miles, way tf over there!

      quote marks or none surronding the numbers doesnt appear to matter, for me at least

        This “issue” is fixed.

        Advised by Sam, I ran these 2 commands to find modified files that differ from a “clean install/default” of MM.

        git status
        git diff
        

        Any that varied… I ran:

        git checkout <dir-tree>/file.extension
        

        Rebuilt my config.js and found that apiBase HAS to be commented out.

        On reflection DO NOT CHANGE ANY FILE aside from “config.js”
        I had 3 causes for this issue.

        • (edit) i had longitude set in config.js to “long:”… it should be “lon:” and the lat/lon do not have to be surrounded by any quote marks.
        • I’d modified other *.js files, that didn’t need to be modified.
        • the “apiBase” argument listed in (MagicMirror Documentation > Modules > Weather Module > Configuration Options) was, in my case, not “REQUIRED”.
