Why is my IP location different from GPS?
An IP estimate locates the internet connection. Device location locates the device using the signals available to it. A VPN, mobile network or office connection can make those two places far apart.
Start with the method beside the answer
An approximate network result can be a useful starting point for a map or clock. It cannot establish your street address. Choose device location when you need a point closer to where you are. The browser asks your permission; accuracy depends on the device and its surroundings.
A result can be precise-looking and still approximate
Decimal places describe a coordinate format. They do not establish the accuracy of the underlying position. Look for the device accuracy radius and capture time. A wide radius can cross a city, county or time-zone boundary.
Correct the point before using it
Request a fresh device fix, enter known coordinates or move the map point. A manually chosen point has no measured device accuracy. Turning off a VPN can change a network estimate without moving you. For an emergency, call the local emergency number first and describe recognizable surroundings.
