I know it can be accurate, but when it can't get a good GPS position, it just displays the state.

Mine always shows the correct city. ( I added it using conflippers weather Db) but sometimes the time gets messed up. I am in Richmond, CA and it changes the time to Richmond,VA and my alarms will start going off early, So i just dont use the my location as my clock weather and have it set on one of the cities that I added.. its a pain but oh well. Anyone know how to fix it? if not no big deal...

Mine is always pretty close to accurate. If i am on the city boarder it will just say Illinois but if i am actually in the city it will tell me Rockford. If i don't have GPS signal at all where i am it will triangulate my location which will usually give me a Machesney Park city which is just outside of where i am actually at.

Its weird in some places it will give me the exact city and location....when I am at home it doesn't display my city....instead it says I'm located elsewhere....I don't think it has to do with GPS signal at my house since Google maps finds me fine.

Wish mike would fix this because in every other rom ive used its worked and been accurate 100% of the time. I just hard reset the phone and now it shows im in washington. I give up this is the one biggest annoyance this rom has.

On energy mines pinpoints me down to the city...sometimes even the part of town.

just change the correct time and timezone in the windows time settings NOT in the manila one and it will fix itself

Hope it helps.

My location weather showed up on the Home screen, everything very accurate, then all of a sudden it stop showing on the home screen and defaulted to on of the cities I selected. If I go to Weather the current location is listed but can no longer display it on the Home screen. Any clues?

Mike explained it somewhat here. While his post refers to the GPS location, it and the weather are running off the same HTC Geo Service driver.

So annoying since I use it quite often...

Its so wierd. In my case the only time I get the right location is using MightyROM. With all other ROMs it shows me Washington when I am in Ames, IA.
