Using Google Now at home, it correctly displays where I am and is generally fine. I live in the suburbs of Poughkeepsie, NY, as a point of reference. I work in Danbury, CT. When I go to work my location is Vancouver, BC, Canada. At least it's in the right hemisphere?
Normally I'd shrug and not worry too much about it, however I use remind me's at work a lot. So if I say "Remind me in an hour to whatever" it processes this wonderfully. Wonderfully if I was in Vancouver......which is in a different time zone. Since I'm a few hours ahead of Vancouver this sets the reminder to ping me the next day. Sort of annoying.
More data:
At home I'm usually on wifi, at work I'm on AT&T LTE with no wifi available (not sure if this is an issue or not tbh)
Google Maps also seems to have this problem as well, however when I start maps it shows me as being somewhere in Washington (the state, not DC).
Just tried clearing the cache and data and will update when I go to work on Monday as to whether or not it works. In the mean time, does anyone have a sure fire solution to this or any ideas to try out? It's sort of maddening.
Thanks!
Scott
