Weather App Location issue

I am currently using Google chrome and I have been trying to figure out why my location could not be found when I copied the exact code from FCC and placed it in Codepen.io. After a week of fighting I asked for help and I learn that I had to use https:// so I can find my location. The second issue is that when I tried to pass this location to the Weather API it would not work, so I asked the community again and I learn that the FCC given locator will not work when we pass the location to the weather API. Could you please add a side note to the other codes as a heads up so that they don’t end up beating their computer with a baseball bat?

https://weather.millergeek.xyz/ is working now. Just use that instead of http://openweathermap.org/. It does a complete passthrough of everything at the /data/ path
