This is great. Hope the dev fixes location detection! Weather from the terminal, woot

As mentioned above, you can explicitly specify cities and locations in multiple ways. Chances are, it uses the GMap api (or similar), so you can input pretty much anything resembling a location description. Not sure there is something to fix :)

Location detection is notoriously hard. For example, my auto-detected location is 500 km off because of the corporate HTTP proxy.
