The paradox or enigma here might be the fact that the OP complained in this forum that his Night Light feature had gotten his location rather wrong by what we can only assume was the same, IP-based method (before he presumably manually fed the app his exact longitudinal and latitudinal coordinates). Which leads you to wonder whether Night Light might be sharing that user-provided data with Maps.
