Virtual Private Network (Vpn)

[RSDonovan]

I have a paid copy of a VPN and although it operates correctly (so I can watch BBC abroad etc.) it doesn't work with maps which always zoom straight to my UK address. The VPN I use is PIA (Private Internet Access).

Thanks in advance

Are you by any chance logged in to your Google account?

It happens with any mapping app, whether I am signed in or not. I can only guess the apps are using the built in GPS???

Try switching it off ?

Maybe you'd have got more relevant answers if you'd mentioned your were using a phone or similarly GPS equipped device.
