Narrative:
While inputting flight plan info into the new ipad I discovered that the VOR identifier for lmt does not display over klamath falls oregon but in southern italy. I had to use the klamath falls airport identifier in order to display the route. While inputting flight route into ipad using the wsi weather app I discovered that the VOR identifier for klamath falls oregon (lmt) actually displays over somewhere in southern italy. Improper data programmed into wsi weather program. Notify wsi so that they can fix this.
