Description
Describe the bug
Location Services says I'm up to a hundred miles away in weather apps and web browser. Maps apps are always correct.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to any weather app set to current location and it is incorrect by up to one hundred miles.
- Go to any maps app and the location is correct.
Expected behavior
When opening any weather app it should show an accurate location just like the maps app. When opening a web browser and searching for a specific place near me it shows me in the same location as the weather app does.
Screenshots

System
Android Version: 13 and 14

Pixel 7 (Panther)
Additional context
This issue also happens on my wife's phone as well. (OnePlus 7T hotdogb)
I have tried multiple combinations of changing the microG Wi-Fi location and Mobile network location settings and nothing fixed it. This issue also happens whether I'm on Wi-Fi or Mobile network.
