Google is doing something odd with movie listings
On my phone if I search for "movies" I get listings of what's playing near me. If I tell my browser to show me the desktop site I get normal search results, with Fandango and the other ticket brokers up top. I can't find a way to get local listings from Google on the desktop. Am I missing something obvious? -- Drew |

Behaves the same way here. Dunno.

Google knows where all the cell towers are and they know which one you are talking to
https://feeds.computerworld.com/article/2540251/google-service-uses-cell-towers-to-locate-users.html No GPS required. Geolocation for fixed lines is nowhere near as accurate so G most likely doesn't show local listings to avoid blunders. |

Try it with Location Services turned off?
That should give you an idea if they're using that to help service your request. Wade. |

I'm more interested in getting it working on the laptop
