VPN. I was in Bumfuck Egypt this morning when I checked the weather. Though when I shop online, they want to ship there.

Not the silver bullet you think it is, unfortunately. Apps are collecting geolocation and sending it back to base. Where the IP connection originates from is less relevant, which is what your VPN service masks.

Thanks for your posts. With location off helps sounds like.

If you have a cellphone this sort of thing can help, but it’s just one of many mechanisms currently in use to spy on you. HLR lookups are right there if someone takes a particular interest in you.
