Galaxy S21@slamina What laptop do you have?
I would guess that both devices are probably getting the wrong location information from your Wifi. Assuming that both devices are connected to your wifi.

Galaxy S21The phones get their location info from Google maps. So, first make sure your location is showing properly in Google Maps. If it is not, you need to calibrate the compass. Click on your blue locator dot and when the screen slides up, choose calibrate. If your location (where you *know* you are) is still not correct, you have to contact Google to set it right. I am not sure how to correct the location on the computer, since mine has always been more or less accurate.
Found this for your computer: Setting location accuracy

Galaxy S21@realaud The phones get location info from several sources. If they have a good GPS signal, that will be one source. If they are cellular, they get location and time information from the local cell tower. If they have poor GPS signal and not on cellular they will interrogate wifi and nearby devices.
Once they have the information, they can represent the location in Google Maps.

Galaxy S21On the phone and computer, make sur location access is on. Read here https://www.thewindowsclub.com/set-default-location-windows-10
for phone: settings/location/location services. Turn wi-fi scanning & Bluetooth scanning on.
You will have to set precise location permissions in individual apps that use location. Setting these permissions correctly will allow your web to put you in the right place.
