I actually now believe you are all right. It is getting my location based on my IP, I believe this because I don't know of any other easy way of getting my location. I am on a laptop that does not have a gps device, nor is it connected to some kind of phone network. My question remains, why is a Gnome app not respecting the settings I am inputing in Gnome? (Location Services: Off) thank you,
