Application Insight : Javascript SDK

I have noticed that the user location reported via Application Insight is very unreliable. It is reporting my location in different state, Whereas when using WhatisMyIP it is able to accurately report my location.

Why such a difference with Application Insight ?

Here is what Appliction Insight Reports: enter image description here

Here is the accurate location reported by WhatIsMyIP

Application insights uses the GeoLite2 from MaxMind for IP and geolocation lookup.

And I tested it at my side by using GeoLite2 and also use WhatIsMyIP, they show me the different locations. So I guess the database for these 2 tools may different and cause this issue.

Hope it can help you.
