Why is the map/location for 2 step verification completely wrong?

Whenever I am signing into anything with 2 step verification, I notice that the notification on my phone says that I'm signing in from a location that is completely incorrect. (i.e.: Portland, ME...) I thought it was just me when I asked a few friends with 2 step verification if they had seen this before. Several of them said that this was the case for them. Does anyone know the reason why this happens? Is it bouncing from a server there or is Apple Maps just acting really weird again? 😉
