Mar 20, 2015 9:56 PM in response to mwm5053by markwmsn,Did you move your router or wifi access point with you from location to location? Your Mac may be basing its estimate of its location on the fact that it is still seeing the same router/WAP.

Mar 21, 2015 9:28 AM in response to markwmsnby mwm5053,Yes I moved the router with me. What could I do about that? I use WPA2. Maybe I should reset it rather than just turning it off.

Mar 21, 2015 8:15 PM in response to mwm5053by markwmsn,★HelpfulAs I understand it, the problem is that Apple has your router's location stored in a database somewhere, based on its wifi network having been seen multiple times by iPhones passing by (yours and other people's). Eventually, new observations of its location should update the database.
Before Apple started using its own database, it reportedly used a particular external database that had a defined interface for updating incorrect information. If there is a similar way to force an update to the Apple database, Apple hasn't gone out of its way to document it.
