Geolocation acting up?

Hey folks, quick question about our 'What is My Location?' web tool. It's been having a bit of an identity crisis lately, hilariously thinking I'm on a different continent!

Specifically, the geolocation data it's pulling seems completely off. I'm in London, but it keeps reporting me somewhere like Paris or even further afield. It's almost like it's trying to get me to take a spontaneous vacation.

I'll include a fake console output snippet in the final post to illustrate the conflicting geolocation data I'm seeing. It will show an incorrect city and coordinates.

// Console output from 'What is My Location?' tool
{
  "timestamp": "2024-07-25T10:30:00Z",
  "source": "Browser Geolocation API",
  "coordinates": {
    "latitude": 48.8566, // Paris latitude
    "longitude": 2.3522  // Paris longitude
  },
  "city": "Paris",
  "country": "France",
  "accuracy_meters": 50
}
// Meanwhile, I'm definitely in London, UK.

Anyone else faced this kind of bizarre geolocation misreporting with their tools?
