Location data often has inaccuracies when pulled from GPS info or ISP IP databases.

is there improvements coming in the location puts me 100 miles away from my locations and i see tat consistent even with the small pool of users in my lab

we pull this from the gps info of the device or ISP IP geo information databases and that last one we can’t really fix as they are known to not be 100%

very little value in it then or at least not reliable i see it put one of my team in the middle of the ocean before

For what it’s worth, the ISP location always puts me in the correct city within a few KM of my true location. But it can vary and some ISPs are better than others. If I enable Location Services on my laptop then it gets my exact house.
