【完全ガイド】Google Chromeで位置情報を変更する方法

Google Chrome can track your location for different reasons. Perhaps you’re on a website that collects location data to better position its products or services. Or, your mobile device would like to know your current location to provide you with location-sensitive information, such as the weather. If you don’t want this information, then it may become necessary to change your location on Google Chrome. You may also want to fake your location to access information and content that may not be available in your current location.

Whatever the reason, this article will provide you with everything you need to know to change the location on Google Chrome for iPhone, Android, PC, or Mac. Let’s begin with exactly how Google Chrome determines your current location.

Part 1. How Does Google Chrome Know Where You Are?

Google Chrome can determine your location using your GPS, Wi-Fi connection, or IP address. Since Google Chrome runs on computers, smartphones, and tablets, this process applies to all devices.

GPS

All mobile devices and tablets come with built-in hardware that can interface with the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites. These satellites have a powerful radio transmitter that will transmit the current time to the receiver (your device). The GPS receiver on your device will usually receive signals from a number of satellites and then, using the timestamps of these satellites, calculate its location on the Earth’s surface.

This system can be pretty accurate, although the typical GPS location from a smartphone is often 10-20 feet from the actual location. Chrome will then use the information gathered by your device’s GPS to access your location.

Wi-Fi

All Wireless networks or routers transmit a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID). This is a token that is used to determine the router or network’s point of identity. While the BSSID doesn’t provide any actual location information, the location can be derived from the IP address that the router has access to.

The location of a BSSID can be determined because the BSSID’s information is public. Every time you access the network using a smartphone or any other device, Google makes a note of the device’s GPS location at the time of the connection. The database with this location can grow over time, and correlations between the BSSID connection and geolocation can be established, such that when Chrome needs to know where you are, it just needs to find this correlation in the database.

IP Address

Google Chrome can also access your device’s current location using the device’s IP address. This is a label that is assigned to all devices in a network. It is unique and works in much the same way as Wi-Fi when it comes to location. Your IP address doesn’t actually know your location, but there is a correlation between the IP address range and regions in your country. These correlations can give a pretty accurate picture of your location, although not as accurate as GPS. For example, in the United States, your IP address may be used to determine which city you are in, but probably not your home address.
