MacOS location services are TERRIBLE compared to Windows
MacOS makes online shopping a horrible experience!
When I use any browser to get to the website of a store that also has physical locations, I always see the default local store listed at a location in a nearby state rather than the town my computer resides in. My guess is that the MacOS is getting it's location from the location of my ISPs local server farm. Which is really stupid. It was really annoying the other day when I was trying to set up an appointment with the local Apple store. The web site kept trying to set up appointments in the nearby state! Very Lame.
Last night I booted the Mac into Windows 10 (for gaming), just to see, I opened the website for a store with local and not so local physical locations. Yup, Windows got my location right on the first try. Wow! (I had never visited this website on the Windows side previously).
I do have location services enabled on the MacOS and clicked on for Safari in the Mac OS settings. I don't have WiFI turned on, since I am about 2 feet away from my router and Ethernet is sooo much faster. I tried this with other browsers and get the same bad results.
Can somebody tell me if there is some hidden setting in the MaOS to get this to work correctly? I know it can work, obviously Windows can get it right.
