For clarification, I (the guy who posted about the Airave) am not the OP.

The OP complained about being located some distance away but still in his local area, as one might expect if the tower is located in a nearby town.

In my case, I get located many hundreds of miles away. As I said, I can't be sure "Jackson" is in New Jersey, but there's no Jackson anywhere near here. I guessed New Jersey based on Google Maps with the GPS turned off.

To the OP: weather and other location-based services are going to be pretty close to accurate even if the tower is actually a few miles away. As long as you're not using an Airave, that is.
