   I just checked 3 sites (Home Depot, Amazon, Google Maps) that use   
   geolocation and they thought I was in 3 different cities (all about 20-30   
   miles from me, but in very different directions).   
      
   BTW, I also discovered that the nearest Radio Shack dealer is 88 miles   
   away.
