If this is happening while you're connected to your home WiFi network, it could be because the router is reporting it's location as somewhere else, sometimes a location where your ISP has a physical location. Your computer can only get a location from WiFi as it doesn't have GPS.


If you open up Maps on your phone, does it show you on the map where you actually are?
