Bad location chosen #68

Just reset my Newt (and, coincidently, downloaded 1.1.5 - congrats). It has decided that I'm in TX, when I'm in CA. Not sure why that happened, but it's annoying to see the wrong time zone and wrong weather. Really wish I could set this manually.

Ok - not sure why it’s doing that. Let me see if I can get a hot fix in to give users the option to change it. Might be a week or so (out of town with limited ability to code).

Probably someone screwed up the IP geolocation db. The funny thing is that I've had the same static IP address for 15 years; should be able to locate that address to the block! But it doesn't... though https://www.iplocation.net/ is showing the correct result for me for 108.68.51.234

FWIW, I just reset the device and it chose a pretty decent location (better than it's ever done before). So whatever was screwed up with the IP geolocation has been repaired/improved, for now...
