Used a VPN to my home while in Mexico. Returned a week ago and all my devices (including those that have never been in Mexico) now show they’re in Mexico. Google’s IP correction form says it can take a month to fix.

      I use Startpage but haven’t found a replacement for Google Maps that functions nearly as well. Once Google decides my residential IP is in another country the Maps interface language changes. Google also sells IP geolocation info some companies use and those website often behave the same way.
