Skyaware Map Starts In Wrong Country

FlightAware
1

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.

Did you check if the setting on the stats page is correct?
