my Mac has started to incorrectly identify my home location when I take photos on any of my IOS devices. I'm having to correct hundreds of photos.
Wat hat gone wrong and is there a quick fix to replace the incorrect details.

How are you connected to the internet at home? WiFi or by ethernet cable? How far off is the location?
I connect via WiFi and ethernet, locations is home. Something has changed, when i used to take a photo at home it would display the excat location, street name but now it only gives abbreviation which it must get from from memory somewhere
.
I don't know why it varies but here are the locations of a number of pictures that were taken in our house. You can see how spread out it is:
Have no idea why huge spread. I don't use the location feature much. LarryH does a lot and if he pops in he'll be able to address the issue a bit more comprehensively.
I do but I have all GPS cameras so use the data they collect rather than assigning location with iPhoto so have even less experience with iPhoto locations - I only use it to view location, not add them
One thing I do do when I have photos misplaced due to some latency in updating the GPS I pick a photos at the correct location and copy it - then go to the photos with the wrong location and use the "Paste location" command to update them - that works well and is easy (my kind of thing 🙂 )
