Windows 10: My location info is wrong

I recently moved from the west coast 945xx to the east coast 110xx. Whenever I am at my home Wi-Fi network, Windows thinks that I am in 945xx. When I am at my university, it gets my location information correct and says correctly that I am in 110xx. I have tried doing searches and found a bodge; turn off location access entirely, which in turn forces apps to infer location based on IP address and not by the Windows location protocol. That has worked for me, but it causes features like Night Light and auto-timezone to not work correctly.I tried refreshing Windows 10, and Windows still trips

Wrong location info in photos

Hallo,

I have lumia 1020. Of late I've noticed that the location data for all the photos I take is horribly wrong. The gps coordinates show places that 200-300 km away from my position. Going back to my first photos, the location info seems to be always wrong.
The gps does work correctly with Here maps but when it comes to the photo, the wrong information is stored

What could the problem be? I've been using Nokia Camera but I also tested with Camera
