Toybox.Weather.CurrentConditions.observationLocationName returning null as string

Hi,

2 users have reported to me that the location showed in my watchface is null, in my code I make a null check so if the value of Toybox.Weather.CurrentConditions.observationLocationName is null I finish the function and nothing is printed, but they say that null is printed so it makes me think that observationLocationName is returning a 'null' as string, is it possible?

Thanks

Hello the issue is still not corrected after last watch firmware update (on Tactix Delta). Any suggestions? Could there be a programmatical workaround, like to use other service or use reverse geocoding on the web? Maybe GCM is using google services for reverse geocoding, that I do not have installed?

Hello. Since some time ago (weeks or months), the function observationLocationName returns string like "Location [..." and coordinates in degrees. I live in Czech Republic, when discussing with other peers in forum it seems to work in some other countries. It worked before and returned name of observation place.

In my watch face that I programmed I use function observationLocationName, which returns name of location where last weather has been retrieved. It used to work fine, was returning names like Brevnov, or Prague.

Since some time ago, the function does not return location name, but instead, string like "Location[ 50****** 14****** ]". It seems to me like reverse geocoding of the Garmin Connect application does not work, because it seems to be related to one of GC updates.

It may be related to fact that in update name of country changed from "Czech Republic" to "Czechia".

I ran a thread on developer forum but it does not help. May I ask you for help?
