Gps showing completely wrong location

The gps seems to not work. When I use the "find my device" by Google, it is showing that it would be located in Prague. I am currently sittning in Sweden with my phone ๐Ÿ˜

Apps that use my location also show that I supposedly am located in Prague.

I have tried: restart of phone, restart of location, flight mode on and off.

Possibly any ideas?

Hi,

Have you recently relocated to Sweden from Prague, and am using the same router on Wifi?

If you have and are, the router IP address is linked to the address in Prague and Google also uses Wifi to make itself more accurate, hence the wrong location. The only fix for this is once Google services updates the location of the IP address and then the problem will resolve itself. I would suggest that you turn Wifi off, and try again.

If this is not the case, then I  can only suggest a factory reset. Please make sure you back up your data 1st.
