Chrome/Chromium and Opera browsers no longer support geolocation over HTTP
even with the IP api , the data is not acurrate
Even I'm tired, but still I am happy ;)

@Gersho
IP is meaningless, depending on the day i can be located in Pointe a Pitre (closest "big" town) Florida (closest network node) or paris (relevant legal entity)
Zerka1982
@Zerka1982
yes
korzo
@korzo
@Gersho Or even Lemercier :)
Gersho
@Gersho
oh yeah i had that earlier,
what is this supposed to be ? Lemercier is a french family name too so i'm not getting anything relevant in google
piteto
@piteto
Lemercier is in Guadalupe, by Chez Mario on Route de Bellevue :)
Zerka1982
@Zerka1982
lol
vous parlez francais ;)
Gersho
@Gersho
Lemercier is in Guadalupe, by Chez Mario on Route de Bellevue :)
that would mean it's a person or a building
piteto
@piteto
That's where the map marker is on weather.com when looking up weather for lemercier
Gersho
@Gersho
oh, i'll try that
Zerka1982
@Zerka1982
So guys, What is the most used API for weather ?
from your point of view I mean ...
piteto
@piteto
you don't need a different Weather API - you need a different location API to get your app working over HTTP
Gersho
@Gersho
depends where you live, for exemple where i live the only relevant weather data we want is http://www.sxmcyclone.com/ but most of the world has no use for it

@Zerka1982
@piteto my question is a general one :)
I do understand now whats wrong with the server I am using ...
in the search engine, the first answer is about apixu
piteto
@piteto
looking at the free code camp forums, seems people used Open Weather Map and Weather Underground a lot
Gersho
@Gersho
@piteto ok so apparently Lemercier seems to be a district name in the town of Le Moule, it's actually a closer localisation to where i live than when i let weather.com find where i live
it's a few blocks away from me
piteto
@piteto
Funny when code teaches us something about our home
Gersho
@Gersho
i've been living here for 7 years ...
Zerka1982
@Zerka1982
Of course, We don't know everything about the place where we live
:D
Don't be surprised if they mention something about Aliens under the ground
Gersho
@Gersho
i'm hoping for a stargate
alpox
@alpox
@Gersho they really could use some frontend designer for that weather website though o.O gosh is that terrible to look at on mobile
Gersho
@Gersho
@alpox haha yeah, but you don't really mind when you need to know if a tornado is about to murder you :P
alpox
@alpox
@Gersho true, true :D
Zerka1982
@Zerka1982
@Gersho hahah I found an alert about Tornado in one API :D
