Where are you seeing your location?


If it's on a website, many guess at your location given your IP address, and that usually indicates the address of your ISP's corporate offices.


For example, I have Comcast and if I go to many websites it thinks I am in Texas but I am not.


If your location is reflected improperly in Maps, that's completely different and could be indicative of a hardware problem with the GPS chip in your phone.

My mobile Twitter account on my iPhone shows my location as Gahanna, OH, but I have never been there. My location on my iPhone is correct. I have changed my password on Twitter and changed safety settings. I also deleted and reinstalled the Twitter app, but the session still says my location is Gahanna, OH. What can I do?
