You've almost certainly entered your co-ordinates incorrectly, or not entered them at all - on the station settings screen. Make sure to use unsigned numbers for degrees, minutes, and seconds, with a 'W' for your longitude if you're West of the Greenwich meridian and the appropriate letter for your latitude.  
You've almost certainly entered your co-ordinates incorrectly, or not entered them at all - on the station settings screen. You must enter DEGREES, MINUTES, and SECONDS, no other format will work. Make sure to use unsigned numbers for degrees, minutes, and seconds, with a 'W' for your longitude if you're West of the Greenwich meridian, and the appropriate letter for your latitude.
 
If you are not familiar with the degrees/minutes/seconds standard format and have your co-ordinates in some other format, there are pages on the web which will convert for you. Google will find these for you.


One other less likely possibility is that you have set the wrong time zone on your PC. The times are updated when Cumulus starts, and once an hour (on the hour), so take that into consideration after you've corrected your co-ordinates.
