Sometimes I'll be on Google Maps, zoomed into my city near me, and search for a store I know exists nearby, and it'll zoom out to space, rotate the planet, and zoom back into Iraq to a vaguely similarly named place.

I'm usually in Australia. Sometimes my searches when I have poor connectivity will end up favouring Morocco - maybe that was the last time I shared my location data with them and they can't triangulate from cell towers or something else? Though you'd think they might infer a location from current map view.

  The Walmart near me must have setup its wifi access points in a city on the other side of the country from me, because when I'm near it, google thinks i have visited that city.

I had someone give me some GIS data for a project and when projected all the points appeared on the other side of the world. Took me a minute to figure out they needed negatives on their longitudes.
