      Hi,

      I stopped using NOAA due to the wunderground issue.
      Luckily NOAA3 now has been issued and that works like a charm, but for one issue.

      It uses http://ip-api.com/json to determine latitude and longitude.
      After (re)starting MM, a file called latlon.json it being created, with the info provided by ip-api.com.
      As I mentioned before in another thread, in my case the location is of by 67 km’s, which is quite a bit.
      And some users are interested in other locations (rotating through different locations would be anoher feature request).

      As a work-around I updated the providers/wb.js file and adopted the line with “var text = fs.readFileSync(‘modules/MMM-NOAA3/latlon.json’,‘utf8’)” and provided my own latlon.nuremberg.json file.

      But it would be nice to have a config option to do so.
      Something like:

      userLatlonJson: “latlon.nuremberg.json”

      When empty or not present, then to the http://ip-api.com/json routine, when present, then use userLatlonJson file.

      The work-around works for me, but it would be nice to do without.

        @evroom You are reading my mind…working on it … instead of having it read a json file it would be easier to just allow users to add their own lat and lon…
