By clicking in the Locate box (the default text will disappear) you can enter commonly used location details such as your town or postcode.

There could be multiple locations with the same name or postcode, so once you have entered your location you may be prompted to select from a list of possible places. Move to the appropriate suggested location and select it.

Note: Pressing 'Enter' without choosing from the suggestion list will automatically select the first location in the list.

Once you select your location the map will automatically centre itself, zoom in to that location and provide a 7-day tabular forecast for that location.

The temperature and rainfall forecast information is shown (out to 7 days) automatically for the location. For Temperature wind direction and speed on each day, click on the Detail button.

You can also enter your location using a latitude and longitude. For instance; for Angaston you would enter 34.5S, 139.05E or -34.5,13.05

It does not matter if your latitude and longitude isn't for a town, the search will still return a result for the point.

Once you press 'Locate' the map immediately centres on that location and places a pink marker, giving it a name such as 'Angaston'.

Your last chosen location will remain in the search area so if you have moved away from your previously chosen location with the map's scroll or pan (click on map and drag), then click on the 'Locate' button again and you will return to that location.

If your location name is not available in the list, then try switching on one or more overlays (found at the bottom of the screen) to help find your location on the map manually.

Tip: Alternatively you could try search for a nearby known location.
