Bug Description
The weather app can't detect the correct position even though google maps and OSMTouch show my exact location. I am in Bromma, Stockholm, Sweden and the Weather app detects my position as Vänsjö, Småland, which is about 400 km north of Stockholm.

The app currently uses geoip to detect the solution. Will be replaced with a Qt Positioning based solution in the nearest future.
