I have to disagree with you, as it showed almost the exact location of mine in Bursa (a city in Turkey) I wonder how it managed to find my location so precisely.


If you're using Firefox, we can scan the Wifi access points around you - and compare them to some dbs for ridiculously accurate geolocation. In NYC it's almost always better than smart phone GPS.
