Is it possible to correct my GeoIP location

Yes, it's possible to correct your GeoIP location. Read on.

There are numerous providers of "Geo IP" data. You first need to figure out which provider the service in question is using, and then file a report/correction with that provider.

I see my location reported incorrectly every time my router gets a new IP. So I usually check my location against various providers using https://www.iplocation.net (click details link next to your IP adddress) which usually flags up one or more services reporting the wrong location.

You can file corrections at the following pages (not a complete list, feel free to add a comment with others):
