Re: Devixe location
@Margo11 thst is not unusual systems use various different methods to dete rmine location. The most accurate is using GPS if the device supports that and you have allowed the device to share that information . Mobile devices can use a triangulation based on cell towers. However when other devices lack those often use where the IP address maps to which is often a notional point related to where the address was last known to be used at.
