For a very long time Google thought my Newark, NJ IP address was in UAE, where I’ve never been to. Most other websites serving a local version (e.g. airlines) based on GeoIP got it right, but a few also decided I was in UAE; I don’t recall which ones. I submitted Google’s IP location correction form[1] and it was fixed months later. Google’s GeoIP database is weird.
