I am attempting to test this product for use in our company and I cannot get past adding a location. I am getting the following error:

Source	Location/Create

It looks like you get this error when then query.yahooapis.com service is down or unreachable. I found as a workaround, you can leave the latitude and longitude blank in creating a new location. Next, go back and edit the location and you can add Lat and Long, but you also need to add an Woeid number.

I found Woeid's for most major cities here: https://gist.github.com/lukemelia/353493 Hope this helps.
