Flags

That is a usual location given by my default browser. I do have to use another browser when ordering from Amazon however.

As said earlier in this thread. It depends where the main server dealing with your connection is situated. This can change from day to day - nobody seems to know whats actually happening out there!

Yep wot Stockers said. It's the IP of the server/node dealing with your connection requests on any particular day, not the location of your device.
 
How does one find the location of ones nodes? :tmi:
 
Apart from some French fur trappers who liked it up on the hill at Montreal, a lot of Canada was initially populated from the Olde Country. Look at some name places., why there are even Devon town names in the eastern provinces of the former Dominion. ;)
I might mention it to Fr.Fred when I next chat with him.
 
My flag has remained resolutely US since before my last post #36 in this thread nearly a month ago.

What's the point in having flags if they are not only meaningless - but they are giving hugely erroneous information as well?

In Shanghai, to ride the Maglev, and a bullet train to Xian to see the warriors. What flag will I get?
 
it looks like China to me.
 
FLAGS; Oh you mean the little coloured things beneith our names, indicate what country we think we are in...oh, and here I thought somebody was thinking of the lights and flags used on locomotives in North America.
 
In case anyone cares about North American practices; the small lights on the front of the boiler, or on the front of a cab of a Diesel electric unit; they are known as "Classification lights", NOT "Marker lights".
Class lights indicate, when white, that the train is an Extra Train, not shown on the timetable. If showing Green, it indicates that one or more sections of a timetabled train are following. Lights would be shown by night, and flags by day. "Marker Lights" were used on the caboose, to indicate the end of train. Usually RED to the rear, and green to the front and sides. Marker lights usually had 4 lenses.
 
Now you may see that my flag has changed to the Stars and Stripes....!! Even though I am still in Xi'an, China!
Can you guess why?
I know but I don't want to say in case someone is looking over my shoulder.
