The site location for the globe map is taken from your browser’s location service. If you’re on a desktop (with no GPS), it can be a bit unreliable, often based on how your IP address is registered in some geolocation database. If you’re using a VPN, that could affect it too. You can override it with a URL of the form:
[https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?lat=XX.XX&lon=XX.XX&SiteLat=XX.XX&SiteLon=-X.X&zoom=8.7](https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?lat=XX.XX&lon=XX.XX&SiteLat=XX.XX&SiteLon=-X.X&zoom=8.7)
where lat/lon specify where lat/lon specify the centre of the map view, and SiteLat/SiteLon specify the location marker (and centre of the range rings, if enabled).

When I click the link above all I get is a blank white screen.

substitute your lat/lon in place of the X’s

This stuff is very foreign to me. How do I know what my lat/lon is?

You can use this tool. Find your location on the map and click on it. It will tell you what your latitude and longitude are: [Elevation Finder](https://www.freemaptools.com/elevation-finder.htm)

It looks like its set up in your feeder correctly as it shows you in Tennessee on the MLAT feeder map. I agree it’s probably something with your browser or internet connection. The guys that respond have sen it all it seems or have a far better understanding of it than I do.

I’m using starlink would that have anything to do with it?

Maybe… I haven’t used Starlink before but I have seen my location show different places depending on the provider. So it is possible.
