Hi All,
I have a laboratory in my department which thinks it's in central Russia
when using Apple Maps on macOS and iOS devices. (I've also seen it in
Google Maps on macOS, which I assume is GMaps getting its location from
the OS). The lab has also reported Bhutan, Malta, and the equally exotic
Ohio. This room is a shielded from GPS and cellular signals, but may
pick up neighboring Access Points. Step outside of that specific room
and you're back in Colorado.
Phones and laptops keep setting their timezone wildly wrong and we're
having graduate students and faculty missing classes/meetings.
I've tried swapping out the Access Point in the lab. I've tried dropping
a pin in Apple Maps and reporting the location as incorrect, repeatedly
and with separate devices.
I started looking at geolocatemuch, but I'm not sure that's the problem
in this instance. The NAT IP we come from shows proper location in
infosniper.
I'd love to chat with an Apple person about how to solve it.
Wish I could get frequent flyer miles for this...
Thanks,
J.R. Raith
