Windows 10 Lenovo Yoga laptop, no GPS chip from its spec sheet. Firefox browser running bing and google maps thinks I am "near" a place I was two weeks ago. I was never actually there, I was 20 miles away from where it thinks I was a couple weeks ago and now I am 320 miles from there.
Firefox is up to date 105.06 from the about field says current.
Chrome websites know exactly where I am, and has been correct all the time. Bing Maps, Google Maps and MapQuest Map know exactly where I am on Chrome!
Why do they think I am hundreds of miles away when those same map websites are run on Firefox?
We travel in an RV so every 4 or 5 days, we move 50-100 miles. Microsoft Map thinks I am in the same spot as Firefox, and I have changed its default location each time we move. But it thinks we are still someplace else, same as Firefox.
I have done all the usual checks, troubleshooting mode, reboots, location settings, checked to verify NO Proxy is set. No VPN is running.
I really want to keep using Firefox, but this is begining to make me wonder why as its been going on for a couple months now. We have been traveling in an RV for 6 years during the summers, and never noticed this before.
I did buy an external GPS dongle for Windows but none of the maps programs see it, except the app made to test the dongle. BU-353W10, a windows 10 gps dongle. I tried a couple others, similar results, they cannot see it.
