Location disappeared

what can cause my location to go away. I turned off VPN no difference. How do i reset it?

What do you mean by ‘go away’?
Your location on your stats page looks believable.

Location: (28.1, -82.6)

I have no location on my piware map, no distance markers, no location marker……

Mike

Location is set on the FlightAware myADSB page. When the PiAware site connects to the FlightAware Server it grabs the location and then starts up dump1090 with the location.

So either you site is not logging into to your FlightAware account or there might be something blocking the connection during login.

The sky view map will work locally without connecting to FlightAware.

If you can SSH remote connect to the site and then run the command

cat /var/log/piaware.log

You will see something like:

Connecting to FlightAware adept server at piaware.flightaware.com/1200
Connection with adept server at piaware.flightaware.com/1200 established
TLS handshake with adept server at piaware.flightaware.com/1200 completed
FlightAware server certificate validated
encrypted session established with FlightAware
adept reported location: 29, -95, 166ft AMSL

Do you mean the map on FA’s site or on your local Skyview map?

Somehow I lost my sync with flightaware and reentered my ID in the piaware-config.txt and it worked. Thanks for getting back to me.

FA Staff - After updating to 3.6.3 on 10/17, Location has disappeared and its impacting MLAT as well as FA Stats. Since the Stats Page online no longer provides options to update location and and height, I need your help to fix it.
I tried adding the feeder id manually to piaware-config.txt but that didnt help. I even hardcoded the Lat/Lon into faup1090.tcl without luck There is no direct option in piaware-config and it looks like its trying to get location from adept server.

2018-10-30 03:19:50Z adept reported location: 0.00000, 0.00000
2018-10-30 03:19:50Z logged in to FlightAware as user
2018-10-30 03:19:50Z my feeder ID is

You have two receivers on your status page. At least for one of them the location entered is incorrect.
Make sure you have entered the location there for both of them.
Orange bar → select the respective feeder.
At the right end of the orange bar click the button enter the location.
Don’t forget to save when going through the process.
The coordinates are shown below the orange bar in the info window, make sure they are correct.

Better revert that change.

Sorry i didn’t quite see that.

Location Source: Receiver

Maybe a result of fiddling with the program? :slight_smile:

Anyway that indeed needs to be reset by staff @obj

Or start again with a clean image downloaded from Flightaware and follow the instructions for adding the unique id to the piaware-config file.

No. The bug is associated with the site information on the website.

He could just use a new site with new feeder-id, that would indeed work.
Looking at his stats page that is exactly his situation right now :wink:

All changes reverted from backup. Waiting for OBJ to fix the location manually.

Been there and done that without luck. I even setup another PIAware and it worked fine and even allowed me to set location and height on stats page as available previously.

If you could fix the stats page and/or allow me to set the location and height again as available before, it would work fine. MLAT needs location from adept server and you saw the logs. Please let me know once fixed. Your help is much appreciated.

@skyhawk3sv Your location should now be configurable via your adsb stats page

Thank you for your help. It fixed the MLAT issue.
