It's where your IP address is registered to, so no, it's fine.

Mine thinks I live in Exeter, but thats where my ISP is based. I actually live in Bedfordshire, so don't worry :P

IPs rarely report the correct location, mine is registered somewhere in Dorchester and my old one was in the Peak District lol.

Thats why on some sites, for example

Find people in wexford

You might not live in wexford, but your isp is registered to there, so it comes up as you are. thats why most of the time those maps for locating people by there ip dont work
