Hi.. I just installed prey on a Linux laptop..
I can see it in my account but have the same problem.
Google map is dead accurate, prey nap location is miles away.

Hi! Sorry for the delay, I sent you a Direct Message

I'm not seeing a message notification - did you mean to send me the email or was it sent to someone else?

My computer quit connecting to the Prey server. I must have allowed Prey to update itself, because a new client 1.7.4 got installed. When it got installed, Little Snitch automatically disallowed connections. I had to repeat the steps in my Jan 25 post to get allow connections from process "node" while logged in as user "Prey."

BTW, can I get rid of all the old Prey versions in I get rid of the old versions in /usr/local/lib/prey/versions and /usr/lib/prey?

Hey, I just installed Prey on my laptop (MSI GL63 and Windows 10 Home), and I tried to check my location with my Prey account. It shows a highly inaccurate location several kilometers away. When I last checked Google Maps and even Microsoft's Maps, they seem to show my location pretty accurately. But why can't it from the Prey account? The difference in the locations are drastic, so how am I supposed to track it down if ever it (God forbid) gets stolen?

I shall install it on the Linux distro on the same laptop later and see if that changes anything.
