Geolocation wrong in IE9 but not other browsers

[Guest James.Smyth]

Hello,

 

I have noticed that apon using the Geolocation test on the test drive site, that my location according to Internet Explorer 9 is off. I don't just mean off, I mean WAY off. It has me down in Durham, England when in fact it should be in Scotland.

Apon using it in Google Chrome it gets my location to the house. Quite litterly, but its way off in IE9. I know there is something called "default location" or something but I never set anything up involving that so I doubt that comes into play.

 

Whats going on ?

 

Thanks
