Any app on my (android) phone which uses location has me pegged at the wrong place.
My iPad shows correct location but phone shows somewhere in the middle of Boeung Tumpun, about 7km from where I am.
I have looked at google location settings and told it that I am at home, and it correctly tells me that I’ve been there since 11.45 today. But the blue dot still is miles away, it’s a pain in the backside having to manually correct the location in each app before ordering. It just started doing this about a week ago and initially it showed my location at my old address, I thought that maybe that was because I had just recently connected an old router (from my previous house) to extend WiFi in new house. But within a few days it moved from my old house location to the the current mystery place in Boeung Tumpun.
It’s really annoying...any ideas how I could fix it?

Any change in app behaviour if you switch Location setting from High Precision to GPS only? You might have to step outside for a decent GPS fix.

Have you cleared the cache of your map app? Seems the phone knows where you are but the map is not displaying it correctly.

I've done a stack of things and now it seems to be ok. I don't know which one helped resolve.
I reset phone settings,. Didn't seem to help
I did as suggested above, didn't seem to help.
Turned off location settings for a couple of hours.
Deleted and reinstalled some apps which I knew to be using location.
Turn location settings back on.
It jumped around for a few minutes then settled on correct location.
Dunno which action resolved it.
Thanks for suggestions.

I have not, unsurprisingly.
However I am using an OPPO phone and your apparent knowledge of this is less surprising to me. Are you watching us all right now?
No, the pictured drama queen showed up on my feed yesterday and I thought it was a good opportunity to have a laugh.
