    Apparently my SD card got corrupted so I reloaded with the latest Buster image. It works but I noticed that on the URL https://map.adsbexchange.com/mlat-map my site says "private" for closest peer, farthest peer and approximate location.
    It wasn't like this before but I can't find where that setting is.

    I found it finally. In the file "/boot/adsbx-env" find the following line with your favorite text editor:

    INPUT_TYPE="dump1090 --privacy"

    Remove "--privacy" from the dump1090 command, reboot. That's it.

    Then you are not using ADSBx image.

    The likely problem is with looking at the thing on Windows.
    The only thing you will see on Windows will be the /boot folder.
    As such just look for the file adsbx-env

    That would mean you still have the wrong location set.
    A minus or something .....

    Think you swapped the coordinates.
    Latitude should be 39.457563, longitude 8.735278. At least if your receiver is placed somewhere on the westcoast of Sardinia.
