Steps to reproduce

Build a flutter app using geolocator, dart 3.4.0, and flutter 3.22 (latest updates).

It keeps putting my lat lon over in Virginia in my app. I have not changed geoloctor code in my flutter app recently.

Expected results

Should detect correct location

Actual results

Thinks I'm in Virginia.

Code sample

Code sample

```dart final position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition( desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.medium, ); lat = double.parse(position.latitude.toStringAsFixed(3)); lon = double.parse(position.longitude.toStringAsFixed(3)); print('lat is: $lat'); print('lon is: $lon'); ```

I have confirmed that this is not a problem with my particular Windows device, as I built it and sent to a friend, and it is also showing his location as 54 miles northeast of Durham, North Carolina.

flutter: Position: Latitude: 36.6674, Longitude: -78.39

Dear @corepuncher,

Can you elaborate a bit on the subject... On what windows device are you testing this. Does it have a GPS chip? What are you expecting on both locations? and what were the actual results?

Kind regards,

[corepuncher]

It appears that the issue is resolved. I am not sure what changed, but it's working again.

• In the beginning, the gps icon would plot in correct location.
• After updating the app in May, the gps icon started plotting somewhere else, but only for windows builds. These are modern windows PCs.
• I had not checked recently, but now it appears the gps indicator is plotting in the correct location. Not sure what the deal was.
