 * Hello,
 * I face an issue related to geolocation, when I put no information as mentionned
   on visitor location and try to go on the page with the shortcode, the following
   error appear : `OWM Weather id '1725': OWM Error 400 (Nothing to geocode)`. Overall,
   if put the zip code of my city, it work. Do you know if this error is related
   to the fact I’m currently in local development, or if it isn’t normal that can’t
   geocode my location ?
 * I hope you can help me to deal with that issue.

 * Geolocation works off the IP address sent by the web browser. It cannot translate
   private IP address ranges to a location. The error message comes from [https://tools.keycdn.com/geo](https://tools.keycdn.com/geo)
   which OWM Weather uses to find the geolocation.

 * I added HTML5 GeoLocation to the search by visitor’s location. Should the user
   deny the request for his location, the search will fall back to the IP search.
   Please install version 5.3.2 and give it a try. The HTML5 GeoLocation is much
   more precise than the IP-based GeoLocation and should also work in a development
   environment.
