I have both CU1 and CMX running but being on the CU1 list is fine as I am still loyal to it as well...
I can't see why you could not add both, just need to have different Station Name for the MX one and also different URL.
Then my DB would not have issues. You should add it.
Although I suppose Lat/Lon would be same, would overlay on Map, but Table would display OK.


Kind Regards,

What are CU2 and CU3?

Steve Loft's CU2 was abandoned years ago so I doubt anybody uses that and CU3 beats me!! :groan: :groan:

I tried to fill in the form on an Android chrome browser, geolocation would not give the correct position so is turned off. The form does not give a lat/long alternative entry

Hi John,
Sorry you had issues, OK so if you had enabled geolocation you could have selected anywhere on the map yourself, or as mentioned in earlier posts just enter your known Latitude / Longitude manually in the entry boxes below the Map. However some people seem to have difficulty doing this by the looks. Pity as it was so easy, anyway.

Based on the info on your website, I converted your (Degree/Minute/Second format to Decimal) and the location displays as below on google maps.

I have changed the entry form yet again, so please read the instructions on the new form (some images below) .
Map is removed : we supply a non geolocation map https://beaumaris-weather.com/wxcuusersLatLonFinder.php of our own in a separate file where you can click to your hearts content on any location and copy/paste the Lat and Lng into the new Latitude and Longitude input boxes. In addition if you have issues with that we supply a Latitude and Longitude Conversion Calculator https://beaumaris-weather.com/wxcalc_gll.php so you can convert your Degree/Minute/Second format to Decimal and the copy paste that into the form.

So if you are happy to try the new modified form, please do. Hopefully it works this time for you.

Kindest Regards,

Thank you. I was prepared to jump through hoops, in order to get the site in, but thought you wpuld like to have feedback on how easy the form was. It only needs a button Geolocation turned off, Please enter station position

I'll try it again in the spirit of customer driven development :-)
