Hello.  
I want to use my GPS data for latitude and longitude, because its a RV installation. Could someone help me please?

More information is required. Where is node-red running? What are you using to get current GPS?

Did you read the [openweather](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-openweathermap) node page?  
You can feed the gps location with the help of **msg.location.lat** and **msg.location.lon** to the weather map node.  
Where is your gps data coming from? Do you have a sample msg.

Try this example, I do not have Victron GPS installed so added some injects to simulate. Hope it helps
