npub1rfehwfj6dm497h6hj83qvpw02hu89ujetxly680wex72ag5vttlqtvfq9l (npub1rfe…fq9l) location services on phones combine a lot of different unreliable data sources to make a pretty imprecise estimate of where you are. GPS is extremely accurate when it works, but it relies on receiving radio signals from multiple satellites, which can be battery-intensive to run constantly and subject to interference from e.g. weather. So phones try to guess your location based on a bunch of other stuff to help with battery life and immediacy, and that can lead to divergence.
