Then it's likely that the data is incorrect in Mozilla's servers. Please file a bug against geoclue at bugzilla.freedesktop.org so we can assert that (and so that geoclue ships with some debugging tools).

After install gnome-maps today, I opened it and it immediately displayed a map of New York City, presumably since gnome-maps looked up my city location, which I entered in Anaconda, found New York, and displayed a pin over New York City.

The first time I opened GNOME Maps (i.e. right now) I too saw New York

City, and I'm in Plymouth, UK (about 5337km away). My system is configured to use Europe/London at the time zone. Could your home city selection be a red herring with regard to GNOME Maps?

He's most likely behind a VPN or corporate network that shows its head in New York, or Mozilla's location services contain inaccurate data about his IP address.

My computer is hooked up to a router which is hooked up to a modem getting its signal from the phone company, Bell Canada ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_Canada ) No VPN, no corporate network.
