nwsForcast Block

Post by WyoDog » Fri Mar 30, 2018 3:34 pm

There is an anomaly with the nwsforecast block on my site. The locator icon (bubble) correctly shows my location on the map. However, text description below the map is incorrect. I believe that the map gets its location info from the Lat and Long in the block setup or if that is left blank, it looks to the Main Setup.

I'm unsure where the text description gets its location from (in my case 3 Miles SW Powell WY). (Google maps)

My actual location is 1 mile WNW from the (Google) center of my community.

Is this something that I have done or is the block using another geo-location database than the map uses?

Is this something that I can fix?

Hi,
Im afraid nothing we can do about this, this is the Google auto geocode function which determines any location from Google db, in your case it failed, but it is not loaded from MT - I would have to name every single GPS co-ordinate combination of the u.s, which obviously is impossible
