WX Station order in Weather Exchange has changed

<< < (2/2)

ocala:
It's probably city hall or some other kind of official building, or I guess it could be the post office it self.
Just doing a quick visual of the stations in Ocala they had them listed by distance from city hall.
Check that on your end and see how it works out.
As for dropping from 1st to 6th it probably had something to do with the duplicate data.

saratogaWX:
My understanding is that WU uses the lat/long for the geo-center of the town as 'home', then stations appear in the list based on 'nearest' to that geo-center.   My station is in the middle of Saratoga, close to the geo-center of the city, so it appears first in the list.  The town center, is a ways to my south-east, so it appears that they're using the geo-center, not the 'town hall' as the metric.

Best regards,
Ken

capeweather:
That makes a lot of sense. Cape Coral has been getting more and more stations and it seems like my listing is getting pushed farther down the the list which probably explains why my traffic statistics are rarely or never seen from WU from outside visitors. They used to have it setup to where visitors could easily notice your weather data and the courtesy URL back to your homepage. Having the data at the bottom makes it a bit more difficult for users to see your data and the link.

jmcmurry:
We have several locations available in Wisconsin if you wish to be #1 on the list.
