Hey DaveW! Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you're enjoying WxCenter.

So there are two issues going on here:

First, when wxcenter.js validates the location through the geocode.maps.co API, it filters out results with a type not matching administrative, city, town, or village. Looks like Port Charlotte, FL has type values not matching any of these, so that's why it's not finding it (https://geocode.maps.co/search?q=Port%20Charlotte,+Fl). I went ahead and added the type "census", so now it validates that location OK.

Second, looks like the showForecast function crashes the script when no results are returned. This is a legitimate bug I need to fix, so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

For now, go ahead and try the latest wxcenter.js from GitHub again for Port Charlotte, FL and let me know how it goes for you.
