Location is 700 miles off on my android phone

[desura]

i decided to do a full reset of my phone to fix software hiccups. HTC one m8. Everything is fine except for location...it is 700 miles off. This screws up navigation.

Is there a way to reset the gps?

So you're seeing this when you're out and about and on your providers network? Not on a wireless network?

I had this going on at home when I got a replacement router through an RMA. Google is evidently keeping a database of MAC ID's and my phone kept indicating that I was in Texas when I was on my home network. It eventually sorted itself out but it took several weeks. If I got on Verizon's network at home the map location was correct, when I got back on my network I was in Texas. Might have been Chicago, I don't remember.
