4.0.945 PWS Enabled via WU, Mini-8 Gets Wrong Location Weather Data
Fixed
I have a PWS and have it ID entered in my Mini-8.
Looking through the logs today, I see that retrieval of the correct WU ID data is successful.
Curious of the data, I took the URL used as shown in the log and entered it into a browser.
This is the URL and the resulting data.

);
Note that I'm not in China, but the returned data is.

I see that the retrieved data is from some other station. These values are not close to what I see here or looking at the station on WU.

Hi,
That's a query to get the nearby weather stations. The actual data is taken from a different URL. The URL seems to be changed, maybe because of browser as it adds some UTF characters that shouldn't be there:
¢erLat=42.220391¢erLon=-72.638608
correct:
centerLat=42.220391centerLon=-72.638608
Even so the data should be correctly retrieved as the actual data URL is different.
