Why is my location shown incorrectly on the My Drive map? It's about a 1/4 mile as the crow flies from where it should be.

Mostly the point of entry of the internet provider is shown by the IP address as current location

Its the Geo Web Location 'You are here' Icon
I turned mine off ages ago when the MyDrive Web Route planner decided that I lived in a different town 30 + Miles away
According to Google Street view my Geo Web Location is a tiny brick building at the end of a Cul-de-sac on an industrial estate... its where my Internet Provider connects to the Internet

The first time you used the MyDrive Web Route planner a small window opened to ask you if you wanted to use your present location as your default location... This is called Geo-Location I guess you answered yes
Geo-Location Settings
