Share My Location?

Yes, Google Maps, you’re more than welcome to have my current location (in Firefox 3.5 or Chrome).

However, I’m going to be honest. I think our cat could do a better job of actually locating our house than you have done. I don’t expect house level pinpointing without a GPS – but I’m shocked how awful this is. It’s not even the right state!

What’s more strange, is that I know Google and other advertisers know our general location much better than this – as they’ll often use the name of a local town in an advertisement.

I used a web site, GeoBytes, which readily identified the local town where I get internet from. So, why can’t Google do the same?

Do you have any luck with this feature?
