It’s a mix of tech and app quality. Cheap apps cut corners on geolocation accuracy to save costs.
GPS is best for precision, but it drains battery, so some apps avoid it. Wi-Fi is faster but less accurate.
If you’re on iPhone, check out “Find My” to see how Apple’s geolocation stacks up—it’s usually pretty solid.
And yeah, weather apps are just… bad. They’re not built for hyper-local accuracy.
