Chitchat Google always gets my location wrong

[Thick Face Black Heart]

My strongVPN was pointed to San Francisco. Google never believed that. Insisted I was in Japan. Every time I did a google search, a few japanese websites would always come up and my browser would be pointing to google.jp.co. I had to manually tell Google to dish out only English websites. I tried setting location to US but failed. When I visited Youtube, Youtube also believed i was in japan and denied me access to paid movies! WTF!

So I switched server to Los Angeles. Still in California, no doubt (just changed from northern state to southern state -HAHA!). Now, google believes I am in the Netherlands.

I have tried visiting all the IP revealing websites like cmyip, whatismyip, and they all confirm my IP is a USA IP.

Only google thinks I am halfway round the world.

IP is now increasing not relied upon for geolocation for the Internet. As a reliable variable it has dropped in value due spoofing to god knows what. They are using some sort of line diagnostic and device print. The default device print remains until they get a stronger and the next line diagnostic at the next opportunity.

if you're on desktop or a laptop without gps or location history on (such as on a mobile), google determines your location from your browser. if your ip address points to u.s., google will still point your location from your browser location info (in this case jp) unless you have an android device with the latest google play update. check browser settings and location info, and correct if necessary.
