I use my bq 4.5 in Budapest, Hungary, but when I am at home it usually
says I am in Miskolc (Hungary, 180 km/110 miles from Budapest).

Pretty surely it is working from ip based geolocation databases: I have
had the same ip address months ago and a large part of geolocation
webpages (but less than a half of them) says this ip address belongs to
Miskolc.

Of course it is not the mistake of Ubuntu Touch developers, but there
should be an option saying: "this ip address does not belong to the said
location, do not use this source/use another sources"

Title:
  Location lookup failing for Lafayette, Indiana, USA

Status in location-service package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In the weather app when I ask for a location, I consistently get
  Potwin, Kansas, which is over 1000 km away from my current location in
  Lafayette, Indiana.  When I go to a mapping page in the browser and it
  asks for my location, it says no location could be determined.  The
  clock app doesn't seem to look up my location correctly either, but
  that may be unrelated.
