      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      Enabling the "Automatic Device Location" under "Privacy and Security" -> "Location" in gnome control center results in different location.  After I have enabled this option my location on map has moved to another city(no correct one). While if the "automatic device location" is disabled my location is spot on.  Desktop is bit off but laptop is exact. 
      Tested with rpm firefox on mapy.com or windy.com or any other location site.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      geoclue2-2.7.2-1.el10.x86_64

      How reproducible is this bug?: 100%

      Steps to reproduce

      1. open mapy.cz
      2. Click "my location" and allow location
      3. toggle gnome setting
      4. refresh the map, request location and allow it again (might need more than one refresh to see new location, stopping the service worked also)

      Expected results

      Actual results
