Tldr: Google associates your static IP to your real location, if you use Google Maps long enough with that IP.

My Takeaway: use a shared IP

It would be an interesting test if someone has the time and resources - use conflicting location for the same IP. Could be done in an emulator in Android Studio I assume? I would think that it would simply treat it as bad (inconclusive) data and not update the GeoIP.
