    Just noticed this last night firstly the clock on my ip4 was 3 hours behind!! and after going to my clock settings (which stated Hong Kong time) sorted this by setting manual time - London-and disabling automatic update of time but just now I notice that my location on the Google latitude app shows me at Kubiashi province in Japan! WTF?!! fyi I have never been in Japan. What do I do??

    It estimates your location based on nearby routers. Sometimes it can get it very wrong. If you leave the maps app open a while it should get a more accurate location from a GPS satellite.
