Is it possible to improve my location accuracy?
Back to FAQs
If you think you need to improve your desktop/mobile location accuracy, you can try the following:
On desktop:
- Use a modern, up to date, browser like Google Chrome.
- Make sure you have the correct Location Permissions.
- Avoid using the browser developer tools.
- Disable any software that can mask or spoof the physical location of a device (e.g. VPN app, VPN browser plugin, other spoofing browser plugins).
- Connect to the internet via Wi-Fi.
- Test your location on a website like Google Maps (maps.google.com).
- See where your ISP is locating you and ask them to update your IP address if it is inaccurate.
On mobile:
- If connected via 3G or 4G, connect to the internet via a Wi-Fi network in Ontario.
- If connected via Wi-Fi, force close the app or mobile browser and check where your maps app is located. If you appear outside of Ontario, try turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Some public Wi-Fi networks can route through different states/territories.
