When I entered the ip address of my adsb FlightAware I am presented with FlightAware Pi Aware Status. A box at the bottom says Go To: SkyAware Map. When I click on this box, I am taken to a map that is centered mainly on central and southern France showing northern Italy on the right Switzerland to the left and Spain to the extreme left of the French southern coastline. How can I get the SkyAware Map.to show centering on my location in California USA? This map is thousands of miles from my ADSB receiver. What am I missing to get the starting map to position over my ADSB receiver location(my home)?
in the settings of your receiver you have to set the location of the reciever.
Go to the stats page, click on the grey gear wheel on the righthand side and set your location there.
Thanks for the fast reply;
I had entered location from Google maps. It is set to latitude 33.79237, longitude -116.49281
which places it in Palm Springs, California.
After I verified the data, the map that is titled PiAware SkyAware from http://192.168.1.137/skyaware/ still shows the same map that is centered about France.
I rebooted my Win 11 laptop just in case. And no change from original problem. What do I do from here. I am using Pi Aware 8.2
When I clicked Remote Interface: SkyAware Anywhere my screen maps to Palm Springs coordinates I expected. But http://192.168.1.137/skyaware/ still shows France.

Did you adapt the settings on the page for the reciever? Also, maybe a very basic question, did you save that ?
Finally, reboot the system to see of the setting is kept in the configuration.

I thought the map coordinates were kept in a browser cookie. Any reason that site would be unable to store a cookie on your device?
Is the correct locale of the 192.168.1.137 machine set correctly? Not familiar with Win 11 but the ‘France’ location is obviosly coming from somewhere.

I have the same problem, only showing Switzerland.
Same problem for me after updating my Pi. Switzerland.
Did you check if the setting on the stats page is correct?
I’ve added my latitude/longitude manually, checked these by entering them into Google maps - correct, and my ‘location’ shows up as correct on the location map, however, clicking on the ‘Zoom to my location’ on the FlightAware map takes me to the whole USA map!
Yes, it does.There doesn’t seem to have anywhere to enter you location for the main FlightAware site.
However if you add an airport to your account (My FlightAware - Manage - Airports) that is close to your location then you can zoom to that Airport.
@LawrenceHill thanks for that - I have 2 airports nearby, one of which I’ve added to my account, and have added London Heathrow, Gatwick, Stanstead and Luton as per your comments - still goes to the entire of North America 
If you click on the links for each airport under My Airports it will centre the map on that airport.
(At least that’s what it does on mine).
@LawrenceHill it does, yes - but the map on the main FlightAware page has an option to go to your location - it’s that that is not working correctly.
Hi Tony,
Just a guess, but that “location” feature on that page seems to be connected to the browser “location” which probably relies on browser permissions. I doubt if it has anything to do with an actual FA stored location or a receiver location. You could have multiple receivers at different locations.
For me, I deny browser location permission for security reasons. I rarely look at that main FA page, but just tried it and it centers on North and South America for me, which is probably a good default for FA since it is based in the US.
Regards,

Yes, I agree with you. I just use the local airport thing as a work around to save me dragging the map all the time. The app on my phone though, works correctly and centres on my current position.
