PapaS Posted June 4, 2022 Author Share Posted June 4, 2022 I can't find any other weather settings besides the choice of Celsius or Fahrenheit, but nothing for location. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only found C & F to change. Looks like it’s ip location based from what I can make of it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be nice to see my local weather, since the feature is there. I, like many others, run my VPN all the time. Does me no good to see another city or country.

I know this isn't a real solution but I like my weather on my home screen too so that works for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dishuser Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 I just pick a server close to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinghigh Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 That works dishuser as well. I might not want to be on the closest server all the time, though. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in my case it's necessary since my ISP bounces me from toronto to montreal and I'm not near either...lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Maybe it could be added to a wishlist for future update? Don't know, but would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We discussed this internally What we can do is add a Lock Location Feature to Buzz Utilities Basically you have the VPN turned off, let it use your real IP location to get the weather Turn on Lock Location Now no matter if you turn the VPN On or Off It will just use the weather for the Location you locked it to. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
