Bug Description
In the weather app when I ask for a location, I consistently get Potwin, Kansas, which is over 1000 km away from my current location in Lafayette, Indiana. When I go to a mapping page in the browser and it asks for my location, it says no location could be determined. The clock app doesn't seem to look up my location correctly either, but that may be unrelated.

As far as I know, the weather app does not yet rely on Qt Location to determine the exact location of the user. Instead, it relies on an IP-based lookup. At any rate: Please make sure that the phone is located close to a window to ensure that the GPS chipset is able to "see" enough GPS satellites.
