Interesting that they won’t infer a location from an IP or other information they have.

Right now, Google maps tells me I'm in suburban Atlanta. It's off by more than a thousand miles.

Same here. I am in Charlottetown, but can get either that, Halifax or Montreal, which I assume are at different levels of the interconnect to the rest of the Internet.

Occasionally, I will get French language automatically picked because of the assumption that I am “in” Montreal.

Same, always has me in the Midwest despite not living near there.
