Bug Description

It seems its using geoip so the automatically detected location is usually not correct, In my case its showing weather for a small city 90 miles away, Refreshing does not resolve it. The maps apps detect exact location.

When location is enabled all works on vivid. When falling back to geoip then it's more or less accurate depending on geoip provider we use on SSS.
