     It could be because you are using dial-up or a proxy internet connection. If you’re on broadband like cable or DSL your IP address should show as local.

     The map is based off your browser Latitude and Longitude readings. If you are using an unsupported browser, this may read as a California location by default. Try another browser (for example Firefox or Chrome) and try again. Your IP address and other details should be correct however.

     Only the websites you visit can view your IP address, well that and any program you use which connects to the internet. A person won’t be able to see your IP address unless they control the website or applicable you’re using. Also depending on your browser settings, you can prevent such information from passing on to the website owner. For example if you disable Javascript, you can prevent a lot of detailed information about you slipping through.
