I am currently on my laptop at a hotel in Las Vegas. Geoclue (2.7.0) on Ubuntu reports an inaccurate location:
New location:
Latitude: 37.751000°
Longitude: -97.822000°
Accuracy: 1000000.000000 meters
Description: ipf fallback (from WiFi data)
Timestamp: Mon 18 Dec 2023 01:19:50 AM CST (1702883990 seconds since the Epoch)
(This looks like a US country wide catch all location)
My understanding is that this information comes from MLS using my IP address (136.179.21.73) and that MLS uses the MaxMind City database. I downloaded the GeoLite2 City database and found a match for my subnet:

which correctly corresponds to Las Vegas.
Would this be an issue with MLS or should I investigate Geoclue?
