lat/lon format?

How does Lively Weather prefer latitude / longitude date formatted?
I tried this: 45.56467°N 117.92617°W
and pressed enter, LW just blinks and empties the box.

Latitude, Longitude, there is a demo clip in the release:

https://github.com/rocksdanister/weather/releases/tag/v1.0.28.0

Sometimes it may not find anything for the given coordinates so nothing happens.. better to just search by name.

Understood, however I live in a rural area and the nearest town has a completely different weather pattern. This is the main reason I like NOAA. I can get a pinpoint forecast that is 95% accurate. I looked at NOAA's website for information on an API key. The have it for free but I don't understand how to implement it nor Microsoft Visual Basic as I am an old school C programmer.

I love the set of Lively apps, thank you so much for creating them.

You can try the openweathermap webpage to see if the location is available (zip code search etc..)

Lat, Long search is not available with Open-meteo.

I don't have a timeframe for new weather provider, already burned out from implementing openweathermap.. will see.

No worries Dani!
I am currently using openweathermap and it's doing well. It latched in on a town about 15 miles away when given coordinates and the forecast is pretty close to my area.
Thank you again!
