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:

  1. Go to any weather app set to current location and it is incorrect by up to one hundred miles.
  2. 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
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System
Android Version: 13 and 14
Custom ROM: /e/ OS T any version and LineageOS 21
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.

No source file or failing test is identified; done means determining why weather apps and browser searches differ from Maps and adding a regression test or documented fix path.
