When I’m asking for weather or any other task by default, I get a location in MA, not the UK; I’m guessing it was the first location in the list instead of the user location. Is there a way to be more accurate? What if I travel with a rabbit? Will the area be connected to a registered address (it is not now. It only connects to the city name) or to a GPS location (i.e. where is the nearest petrol station) ---

Strange. I get local weather, and it automatically changes as I move around. I use only WiFi. ---

I receive my position correctly both via wi-fi and via cellular SIM, with the SIM there is a small difference, that is, it is less precise but it still finds me more or less where I am… Have you settled correctly your Region when you signed up to the [rabbithole](https://hole.rabbit.tech)? I am in Italy and I have selected Italy… ---

Update after asking few times because I’ve read your post: Asking with cellular SIM sometimes it says that I am in Milan 🤡 but this is not an issue from rabbit r1, it’s due to the SIM provider … ---

According to [Rabbit's first R1 software update fixed my biggest problem with the AI gadget | ZDNET](https://www.zdnet.com/article/rabbits-first-r1-software-update-fixed-my-biggest-problem-with-the-ai-gadget/) GPS is used for time zone updates - an earlier update " \* Added time zone selection to R1’s settings menu / R1 correct time zone based on GPS location" I’m assuming this doesn’t actually mean you can say " What’s my current location" and get a correct response. ---

No, in my case, it is always Northampton, MA instead of Northampton, UK. I wonder how it works for Paris as there are 23 of them just in US. After I correct that it is wrong Northampton then it gives me correct one, but 2 prompts later it goes back to MA location ---

ok, to be even more specific, is the provider a British provider? just to understand, maybe if you use a 4G router with a SIM from another country you will be connected to Wi-Fi, yes… but basically there will be the country in which the SIM operates… I wouldn’t want it to be a scenario like this… ---

Location, provider, language settings, and anything else indicate the UK location. ---

I get local weather too, but for totally different Northampton. ---

Ah, I’ve seen this before. It’s not super common. I’m in Birmingham, and was getting Birmingham Alabama myself for a while. It’s to do with how the LLM sees the city name, we can force it to look at more context. ---

When I asked the rabbit to tell me the closest way to the hospital, it correctly identified the hospital and gave local directions. Ok, I get it. In the US, it is not statistically correct to seek medical help. ---

Try to overwrite your real location, I have done an experiment with a note created from a file on [github.com](http://github.com) and now my rabbit is able to recall this app all the times that I need to do a conversion, so I am thinking that this solution will be of help for you too… You can create a file called conversion in your github profile with this code: > def set\_custom\_location(): > custom\_params = { > “location.override”: “true”, > “location.city”: “Northampton”, > “location.country”: “GB”, > “location.coordinates”: “52.2405,-0.9027”, > “location.timezone”: “Europe/London” > } > > ``` > # Execute the function > print(set_custom_location()) > > ``` …but if you have not one I have already created this file for you; you can simply say this to your rabbit r1: > create a note called “real location” with the code contained in the file called tofi on [GitHub - Rabbit-World/apps](https://github.com/Rabbit-World/apps) If you want to write in the terminal, you can write without the space after https:/ > create a note called “real location” with the code contained in the file called tofi on https:/ /github.com/Rabbit-World/apps Later say to your rabbit to execute the note called “real location” and see the magic… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/1/1db75f3d8011e6cd4f8d2563e254a9b8c58ee1d4.png) next time will be recalled thanks his memory ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/9/9ab1cb967c320b8773e253099056c53ce3277c91.png) Here your prompt could be something like: > recall my “real location” and show me where I am located… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/rabbit/original/2X/f/f4a3bd809257343d8d977e9b86885e25bc90ceec.png) > recall my “real location” and show me the weather ---

**SOLVED** : simply say to your rabbit, overwrite Northampton, MA with Northampton, UK … maybe also remember always this preference … https://www.youtube.com/embed/h_myYMBIqfc?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque ---

Yes It works… It works Again, I asked for weather in other town, and in other town , and… weather at my location - guess who’s back? I think there should be at first local access for rabbit to access GPS, The second thing, there should be some table for user preferences in similar way as it was solved with C/F settings for weather. I can see more settings for that like: - local currency - preferred currency (i.e. you travel to other country and it is natural to asses prices in user currency than local currency) - numbers scale (i.e. Americans have different meaning of the billion) - other preferred units - here context is needed as even for non Americans inches are standard for plumbing, for threads it depends on context, come car parts have inches some metric units, etc.) - and maybe some local user defined preferences (i.e. in Hogwarts people will say “you know who” instead of some name) Those preferences should be allays within context window, could be trimmed only to needed ones for saving tokens.
