nearby scope cannot correctly identify my location

[Madas Pál]

I use my bq 4.5 in Budapest, Hungary, but when I am at home it usually says I am in Miskolc (Hungary, 180 km/110 miles from Budapest).

Pretty surely it is working from ip based geolocation databases: I have had the same ip address months ago and a large part of geolocation webpages (but less than a half of them) says this ip address belongs to Miskolc.

Of course it is not the mistake of Ubuntu Touch developers, but there should be an option saying: "this ip address does not belong to the said location, do not use this source/use another sources"

Another problem: it was hard to find the nearby-scope bugreport page at launchpad: neither nearby-scope, nor today scope is listed under https://launchpad.net/unity-scopes

Thanks.

Hi Madas,

This is an issue with the location service generally speaking, not the Nearby scope.

Can you please add your information to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/location-service/+bug/1238823?

That bug seems to describe the same problem.

Thanks,
Kyle
