I have a Ambient WS-1090 and can not change the Long and Lat. I have tried about all I could think of. I tried changing the Set up files. I even downloaded a new copy (1.9 Both) and put it on another drive .It still says Iam about 100 miles from where I am . It only matters on CWOP as Weather Underground has you set the location on a Map. I am a Ham Radio Op and Will send Packets through Radio soon but untill then My information is useless with my location being wrong.

Re: Help with ws-1090
Do you mean the location settings in Cumulus? Can you tell me what your actual co-ordinates are, and show me a screen shot of what you've put into the station settings screen in Cumulus? And copy and paste here the Latitude and Longitude lines from cumulus.ini.

Re: Help with ws-1090
Location 33.9605544,-94.75226593 is
33° 57' 38" N
94° 45' 8" W
and if I enter those co-ordinates into Cumulus: it works fine, and I get this in cumulus.ini:
Latitude=33.9605555555556
Longitude=-94.7522222222222
So I can only think that you're not entering the co-ordinates correctly somehow.

I shut it down ,changed the long and Lat again ,shut it down and restarted and all works . I got the same as you and the ini file as well.It is rounded off a little but puts me about 500 feet from my station.
Thanks Ron
