Android web browser geo location problems on wifi - it's way off -
I have this website that is designed for Android phones. It becomes the user's location through a web browser ... Sometimes
When I have WiFi off, it comes out of lazy mode and receives the actual GPS location which is on the money Is bang
When I have WiFi (and only in my office, other WIFI works) it becomes lazy and is using WiFi to get the location. But it's saying that I'm in Monaco ... but I'm actually in Australia
What's going on with it?
It happens when WiFi is turned on and only in my office.
The location of WiFi is on the basis that can be affected by many things.
I have reported the use of several intranet sites used. In one case I think this is due to the use of a web proxy, because the reported location is the city's headquarters (and where the web proxy is running), not at the place that I work on. In another company, the location report is in the other half of the world in any other country. I am not sure what is happening due to this - perhaps on the internet is the address of my computer within intranet maps facing the IP address in another computer? Maybe there is some kind of network security software that can report incorrectly? Maybe this address was used from a computer, but then this company bought it?
