Hi

I'm back to this again.

I just can't understand why Microsoft doesn't address this problem.
It seems to me that it should be an easy fix?

I posted about this to Microsoft and now I get many messages every day about other people posting about the same thing.

I thought that I had a fix when I read about being able to set your home location.
When I did that and ask where my home is she now says the correct location, and then says it's miles away from where I'm at!

When I ask her where I'm at, she says I'm in a cemetery one the other side of the county (kind of depressing, don't rush it).

The problem is that if I ask about Chinese restaurants in my area she tell me about ones that are miles away.

Every other location sensitive application I have will let me tell them where I'm at, why not Cortana?

Cortana isn't the only bug they've got to fix. Networking and Homegroups are a problem for a lot of people. They should have fixed more of this stuff before trying to force it on the unsuspecting public.
