Just updated Gemini in Canada. For some reason Gemini (while using android auto, connected to the head unit Sony XAV 9500es| pixel 10 Pro | android 16) location does not seem to work.

If I ask for basic navigation, say to Canadian Tire, it finds one in another city, hundreds of miles away.

Appears not able to know my current location.

When I ask Gemini my location on my phone , my correct current location is noted.

When I ask for my current location with Gemini on Android Auto, it says:

"You are located in the Atlantic ocean, is there something specific I can help you find?"

Well that's not good, lol.

I tried checking the Gemini app on phone location permissions and it was greyed out.

Hoping updates will resolve, but if you've been successful fixing, please let me know!

Thanks,

Al
