  1. Microsoft Edge maps location HORRIBLE


    Edge location was working fine until last week when all of a sudden, in Google Maps and Bing Maps, Edge thinks I am in Florida. I am in Tennessee. I have tried everything I can think of to fix this including removing Edge profile and creating a new one. All Windows 10 location services are ON. I have set Windows Default Location. I have cleared Windows location history. Google Chrome browser correctly identifies my location. This is an Edge Browser issue, not Windows.Edge Version 91.0.864.59 Official build 64-bitWindows 10 HomeVersion: 21H1OS Build: 19043.1055

  3. Microsoft Edge will not accept my home Location

    Hi John,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. I understand that Microsoft Edge shows incorrect location of your computer.

    Before we proceed, please answer the following questions to help you better.


    • Do you see the incorrect location on a specific website?

    • Where did you input your town and post code to change the location?
    I would like to let you know that the Microsoft Edge will detect the location that is configured on the system.

    I suggest that you turn off and turn on the Location option in Settings. To do so, follow these steps.


    • Press Windows key + I to open Settings.

    • Click on Privacy on select Location
      tab.

    • Check if Location is turned ON.

    • If yes, turn it OFF and turn ON
    Hope this helps. If the issue persist, please post back with the required information. We’ll be glad to assist you further.

    Thank you.
