This is a good thing, but all locations, nearest businesses, etc are based on League City, when I'm not close to League City.

It's a relatively minor inconvenience, but I was wondering if there might be a simple fix.
At a technical level if your ISP drops you off to the public internet on IP space that is "registered" as elsewhere on the geographical map than your locale, that can happen.

On Verizon FIOS I routinely show up as being somewhere in Pennsylvania. I've never had a problem with that *cough*.
