How to accurate location friend on map latitude??

I use Location Spoofer on my EVO to watch blacked out content based on location and other things. One thing I noticed is that it appears that Sprint Family locator doesn't use the same location data as google maps and ect. Is there any way to spoof the data SFL uses?
I dont think so. Sprint Locator uses the gps signal, whereas those other programs just use your approximate network location based on tower triangualtion.
Hi,
I moved to another city in the same country and took my adsl modem /access point with me.
Now my location is incorrect in Google Maps.
How does wifi geolocation work ?
How can I fix the location of my modem ?
thx.
What if we told the GPS our coordinates? Or the city the phone is in?
There are a lot of settings for location, and I'm not sure what each one does . Can someone explain them to me please, and what each one would be needed for?
Here's a very in depth explanation, hope it helps

Credit to torgo on the Verizon wireless forum:
1. VZW Location Services: *Uses Verizon cell towers to triangulate your position, pretty accurate.
2. GPS: *Uses GPS satellites, should be most accurate but in my experience isn't very reliable unless you're outside.
3. Google Location Services: *Uses a combination of IP address and wi-fi access points to determine your location. *Least accurate, but usually reasonably close

The Google location access toggle is to allow Google apps to access the information provided by location services (so things like maps and navigation work).
The Google Now Weather card shows the wrong location most of the time. It looks like it is showing the location for the cell tower I'm connected to, not my WiFi. I have the location services set for battery saving which uses Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Even when I had it set for high accuracy which added GPS as a location source it still mostly thought my location was the cell tower I connect to. I have my home address set. How do I tell Google Now not to use the cell tower for my location since it is several cities away?
any luck with this? Mine recently began doing this as well. and strangely only for weather.
I live in Los Angeles, CA and it shows me weather for Sacramento, CA when i'm at home
No luck yet. It seems to be a little more accurate with lollipop but sometimes it still shows the city where the cell tower is.
