While on wifi: Android doesn't know my location?

[JEDI]

Android 12
i'm in another country and no service from my provider.

i found a local library with free wifi.
i turned on my phone for the 1st time since leaving the USA.

my phone has no idea where i am.
when i type 'where am i' in my phone browser and press update location, it says 'cannot update your location.'

it's been an hr.
my phone's location services is on.
i turned my phone off/on. no improvement.

How do i get my phone's location to work?

thx

Try going outside. The gps radio should still work.
