Cortana gives me wrong current location

Hi all,

I ask Cortana "What is my current location?", and Cortana gives me a different street in our neighborhood. I ask Siri "What is my current location?" and Siri gives me the correct location.

Thank you,

 

Location wrong in Cortana

If the Maps app indicates the correct location then Cortana should definitely be able to see the same location. It is possible that the wrong location was cached for a bit but it should refresh. Are you still seeing the wrong location in Cortana?
