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.:wacko:

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.

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.
