They added a feature to enable better geolocation (if you want).

In the Starlink app: Settings > Advanced > Debug Data > Starlink Location > Allow access on local network.

How does this solve the geolocation issue? The parent poster mentioned IP based geolocation, which isn't affected by the starlink terminal providing some sort of local debug api to get the current lon/lat.

I turned it on, and now geolocation works. That's how it's related.

So when you go to https://ipinfo.io/ it reports your lat/lon to be correct under the "loc" entry?
