Fix map locations
I enter my zip code under "Config", but the location the map gives me for the weather forecast is off base by 20 miles. When I click on a location on the map itself, I get a location that is off base by even more.

The forecast data shown is exactly for the location you specified.
The number of weather stations we can show with the new data provider is more limited and might be further away than before.
If you want a closer weather station you can choose “Best weather station” in the configuration

For this we have introduced the option "Best Weather Station".
Without the option station KBUU is chosen. With the option MLWKM (Miller Park) is chosen.
Does it help?

zip code 53207 shows Tippecanoe, wi:
For the Map title; and the weather station title and under this (the weather station title) Burlington, WI shows neither is correct.
53207 is Milwaukee, WI... KMKE (General Mitchel International Air Port, to be specific).
But WeatherBug.com (the 'source' of your Weather Station information), shows "Milwaukee, WI 53207" and "As reported at: General Mitchell Intl Arpt", when you key in 53207. -

Any comment here?
WIthout "Best Weather" i get Ashland,VA for the ZIP "23832".
With "Best Weather" i get Chesterfield,VA as weather station.
You mean both are wrong? Which one would you expect?

Wrong. If I type in "23832" as my zip code for where I want my forecast, the system should return "chesterfield, Va", but it does not. If I click on the map in the center of "Richmond, Va", it gives me a location 20 miles away. The system does not work properly.
