Geolocation wrong (really wrong) in Edge but correct in Chrome
This is probably a Windows 10 API problem not an Edge issue, but geolocation is wrong - usually really, really wrong - in Edge... while Chrome gets my location dead-on. On the same computer. At the...
I have the same problem, a year later than this post.
I have the latest version of Windows 10 Pro version 20H2 with Edge Version 89.0.774.75 (Official build) (64-bit). I also have the latest version of Google Chrome.
Location settings for google.com is enabled on both browsers.
When I type "my location" in Edge it shows NJ (250 miles away from me) and when I type "my location" in Chrome is shows MA (and my correct precise location). Same issue if I go into Google Maps.
Is Edge looking at my IP address, which may be originating via my ISP in NJ, and Chrome reading my precise location from my laptop?
This is very annoying. Any suggestions?
