Google maps think tablet is in Brazil

[Craig the cyclist]

She is sat across from me at the moment! But I suppose I have not checked if she has gone Brazillian.

If it saves time, I can actually she has gone to Hollywood

For some reason, if I open Google maps on my laptop it always defaults to Krakow. No idea why it does that as Krakow is far, far away and absolutely everything else is perfectly normal.

Move to Brazil. Sorted.

Hi,

Anyone able to resolve this.

MrsPK's tablet has started to think she is in Brazil instead of Sussex.
Turning on and off has not helped

You didn't buy it of Del Boy did you ? Or Rodney ?

Even better send the missus to Brazil and you have more space for an extra bike or two

In a similar vein, when opening Google maps on my phone the map always starts out centred on Moor Beck, just north of Embsay Moor reservoir near Skipton.

53.9993904, -1.9984469

Not sure why, don't think I have ever been there and the location soon zooms into my correct home position.

Google always thought I was in Blackburn... but recently it's seems to have deduced that I'm now in Blackpool. Close, but no cigar.

Has she had a Brazilian? 😳

Google was trying to protect you from embarrassment of living in Lancaster if anyone else found your tablet

The less Google know about your location. The better.

Woosh, and it hits, about 24hrs later.....
