Wrong geolocation #4

Description

The webpage requested my geolocation (I'm assuming it receives the latitude and longitude), but it was greatly off from my actual location. It showed the weather forecast of an area that is 50 km away from where I was, unfortunately showing the wrong temperature (off by 2 Celsius). HTML5 Geolocation is supposed to be accurate to within a kilometre, which means that the Weather API that is used in the project may not have my suburban neighborhood listed in its database. So, it could have gone to the location in its database that was closest to my location, which happened to be 50 km away. Everything other than this issue was fantastic and well done though.
