Google makes attempts to refine locations based on the IP address. It may
have a pretty good base of such information. But with my home machine they
estimate me within about 30 to 60 miles of where I am much of the time.
I have never seen fit to repair their notions of where I live. (They even
have the street address off by enough drivers get confused and don't find
the place. I am not going to correct THAT either.)
