    It would be nice, setting my own location into the map. It seems to be, that my Location will be set my my IP-adress. :-((

    Well, the page queries your browser for the location.
    That usually is only approximate unless you are using a mobile device with GPS.

    Anyhow i've made an override option for you.
    You'll need to modify the URL with your latitude and longitude:

    https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/?SiteLat=50&SiteLon=10

    You only need that URL once, the browser will remember the location for following visits.

    You can clear it like this:
    https://tar1090.adsbexchange.com/?SiteClear

    Then the browser will use the geolocation again.

    Just changed it a bit so you don't need to bookmark it.

    See my previous edit ;)
