Trying to set the lat/long for my newest site, but there is no cog at the end of the bar for the site…It’s a brand new, fresh piaware download and I am without the very first clue how to change this.
thanks!
Bob
Did you login into the flightaware website ? It sometimes can take some time to get the cogwheel displayed, certainly when they are running a backup up.
Yup. Logged in, gave it 24 hours, logged out, checked again, same result.
Is there a place I can set it in a config file?
As it is a new site did you claim it? Maybe you overlooked that part of the process.
Yes, the site has been claimed. If not, I would hope it would not show up in my list of sites! 
send a mail to adsbsupport@flightaware.com they can assist you with this, they can check if the new site is connected correctly.
Once done you can then set the correct location.
Strange, maybe someone else has ideas on what is going on. To answer your other question, dump1090-fa has an option to set the lat/lon, but I have never used that method.
pi@piaware:~ $ dump1090-fa --help
Decoder settings

Found it. Apparently I have two accounts, one owns the site the other does not.
good, then you could also request to merge them into 1 account by contacting the support guys via email.
